Police officers, on Thursday evening, unearthed 5kgs of bhang that was hidden in tyres of a moving car in Marsabit.
The bhang valued at Ksh 200,000 was cleverly hidden in the rear tyres of the Toyota Alphard.
Two people associated with the vehicle, Daniel Njuguna (driver), Boniface Muthee (owner) and three other suspects were arrested in connection with the incident.
The police revealed that they flagged down the vehicle for traffic check when they smelt bhang but could not tell exactly where it was emanating from.
That was when they took the car to the police station for further investigations when the illegal drug was discovered in its rear wheels.
The suspects were set to be arraigned in court on Friday, March 22.
In February, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) nabbed a foreigner in Nairobi and recovered bhang and ammunition.
According to the DCI, the suspect, Benjamin Gsull had also tampered and switched off CCTV cameras at the apartment in which he resided.
While carrying out investigations, the detectives discovered him on the surveillance footage and decided to close in on him.
Police officers have in the recent past nabbed more illegal drugs including heroin, cocaine among others.
