A 50 year old man has been nabbed with bhang in Mwala, Machakos County.
James Kyalo was arrested with 293 rolls and 200 grams of bhang worth street value of Sh12,000 in Kyamutui on Wednesday night.
Addressing the press after making the arrest, Mwala assistant commissioner Charles Njura said they were acting on a tip off from members of the public.
Njura said Mwala Administration Police Commander Francis Chai helped him effect the arrest.
He said the suspect was a notorious peddler and has been evading police trap for a long time.
“Finally we have been able to lay hands on him, he has been evading arrest but today luck wasn't on his side," Njura said.
Njura said he was committed to ensuring that drug peddling becomes history in Mwala.
He said all drug peddlers will be brought to book in the sub county.
