Police Uncover Cannabis Plantation in Nakuru County

Police in Nakuru County have uncovered a suspected cannabis plantation hidden inside a maize farm in Moi Ndabi Village, Kongoni Location. Acting on intelligence, officers discovered about half an acre of suspected cannabis (bhang) that had been strategically intercropped with maize to avoid detection.

According to reports, one suspect was arrested during the operation and remains in police custody pending arraignment. The National Police Service emphasized that this operation underscores its continued efforts to dismantle illegal drug cultivation through intelligence-led policing and community collaboration.

Nakuru County has been a focal point for police operations targeting illegal drug activities. The National Police Service has been actively engaging local communities to gather intelligence and combat drug-related crimes, which have been a growing concern in various regions of Kenya.

The discovery comes amid increasing efforts by law enforcement to tackle the rising issue of drug cultivation in the country. Recent operations have highlighted the challenges faced by police in detecting such hidden plantations, often concealed within legitimate crops. This case reflects broader societal concerns about drug use and trafficking in Kenya.
