-The motorbike was intercepted by the traffic police manning the road within the area.
-The bhang and the motorbike are set to be destroyed on Monday.
Police have seized 191 rolls of bhang worth Sh65, 000 in Kwale county.
The bhang was seized at Mteza along the Lutsangani-Mbuguni road in Matuga.
County police commander Joseph Nthenge said the marijuana was being transported to an unknown location on a motorbike.
The officers had launched an operation against drugs trafficking before they intercepted the bhang.
“The person carrying it panicked when he came across police officers and managed to escape in a nearby thicket,” he said.
Both bhang and the bike were taken to Kwale police station. Police have launched a manhunt for the escapee.
The incident comes some months after police burnt 15 sacks of Miraa worth Sh100, 000.
The drug was recovered in Lunga-Lunga and damaged for violating the ban against the selling of Miraa due to Covid-19 restrictions.
The county police boss asked the locals to stem up the fight against drug trafficking.
