Police in Nairobi are holding a man over suspected narcotics trafficking.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in a statement on Thursday said the suspect was arrested along Eastern Bypass.
DCI said bhang whose street value is estimated at Sh600,000 was recovered during the operation.
According to the DCI, the arrest follows intelligence leads, which led to the interception of the vehicle the man was driving by the anti-narcotics team.
"The herb that was concealed in a gunny bag in four bales and a motor vehicle have been detained as exhibits pending arraignment of the suspect," the DCI said.
The suspect is currently being held at a police station in Nairobi.
This comes barely three weeks after police officers from the anti-narcotic unit seized seven sacks of bhang in Kilifi.
The bhang weighed 429.3 kg and had a street value of Sh12,879,000.
Kilifi county criminal investigations officer David Sielle said the bhang was seized at Kibao Kiche along the Mariakani Mavueni highway.
The CCIO said the bhang was loaded in a blue truck and two suspects were arrested.
