Two Tanzanians were on Tuesday night arrested in Remba Island, Suba North constituency, for smuggling bhang worth Sh500,000.
Annah Mwisawa, 34, and Jackson Josephat, 20, were found in possession of the narcotic, which they packed in three sacks and rolls.
They were nabbed by APs patrolling Lake Victoria.
Suba North deputy AP commander Elias Wasonga said officers were tipped off by the public who informed them the duo were ferrying the drugs using a boat from Tanzania
The two managed to travel to Remba Island and hurriedly offloaded the drugs from the boat and temporarily hid them in a deserted house on the island.
Area OCPD Charles Mwangi said the suspects were taken to Mbita police station.
Investigations have been lauched into the incident.
“We believe they collaborated with some Kenyans to undertake the business. Any Kenyan colluding with foreigners to undertake illegal business will not be spared,” Mwangi said.
The two will be arraigned.
