Nakuru county police officers have netted bhang weighing more than one tonne that was being ferried using a 10- wheeled tanker at Mwariki area at the outskirts of Nakuru town.
Nakuru county police Commander Stephen Matu on Monday said that the value of the cargo is Sh3.6 million.
"We received information from Nairobi police who later assisted us in tracing the tanker using the mobile phone service provider," the police boss said.
One person has been arrested and is being detained at Nakuru's Central police station awaiting arraignment on Tuesday.
