Police in Migori on Wednesday nabbed another 4,720 of 50kg bags of sugar enroute to Homa Bay in the ongoing operation on contraband sugar.
The sugar is suspected to have been illegally smuggled into the country.
The sugar which was being ferried in nine trucks was intercepted by the County officials manning Migori-Homa Bay road.
It was branded as that of West Kenya sugar company limited.
West Kenya Sugar, however, denied any link to the semi-raw sugar that has found its way into the market.
According to one of the council officials, the haul was being taken to Sukari Industries in Ndhiwa for repackaging before being supplied to other parts of the country.
