TRAFFICKER IN CUFFS, NARCOTICS SEIZED
Coordinated efforts between detectives, traffic, and general duties officers from Voi Police Station saw the arrest of a trafficker who attempted to slip through officer’s fingers, seizing Bhang worth over Sh7 million in the streets.
The trafficker, Collins Otieno Angwech, 50, was behind the wheel of a grey Voxy KCK 054X, crammed to the gills with the illicit cargo. When traffic officers near Izera Ranch signalled him to stop, Angwech, in a foolhardy move, floored the accelerator and bolted towards Mombasa. This reckless dash triggered an immediate response from the DCI and general duty officers, who sprang into action without missing a beat, setting off a high-octane chase.
After a heart-pounding pursuit, the vehicle was finally intercepted off-road. Under the watchful eyes of the officers, it was escorted back to Voi Police Station.
In the vehicle, 1,315 rolls and eight and a half sacks of Bhang, with an estimated street value of Sh7,135,500 were recovered.
Angwech now finds himself in a tight spot, detained at Voi Police station as the wheels of justice turn. Meanwhile, the confiscated narcotics and the Voxy are being held as exhibits.
