Yesterday, officers from the National Police Service carried out a successful intelligence-led operation at a residence in Elgon View Estate in Eldoret Township.
According to the National Police Service (NPS), the officers searched the compound’s two buildings thoroughly and discovered 21 cannabis plants in the main bedroom, 68 in the sitting room, 14 in the dining room, 26 in an adjacent iron sheet walled house, and various personal documents.
“All the plants were uprooted after having been documented by DCI Scenes of Crime personnel. The plants weighed 33.5 Kgs with a street value of about one million Kenya Shillings,” NPS tweeted.
A manhunt has been launched to arrest the main suspect, Kipchumba Michael Kibet.
The NPS is appealing for any information that can lead to the suspect’s arrest and urging the public to refrain from engaging in criminal activity.
