A 29-year-old Meru man is wanted by police over allegations of being involved in violent robbery and drug trafficking.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations Saturday raided his house in the Murunya area of Mutuati, Meru County but could not find him.
The raid followed a tip-off prompting Anti-Narcotics detectives augmented by their Transnational Organized Crimes Unit counterparts to storm his residence.
"Upon search the rifle loaded with a magazine of 20 live rounds and a bale of bhang were found," DCI said.
Police believe the suspect got wind of the raid and went missing.
