Three suspects, including a police officer, have been arrested for trafficking 10 bales of cannabis along the Nakuru-Nairobi highway. 

The suspects were intercepted yesterday in the Karai area of Naivasha by anti-narcotics detectives.

Acting on a tip-off, the officers stopped two vehicles, a Toyota Noah and a Toyota Fielder, and discovered 50 kilograms of cannabis concealed in gunny bags. 

The arrested individuals include Wycliffe Omwenga Mokaya, 30, Allan Machogu Nyarundia, 25, and Police Constable Kebeno Aminga Duke, a General Service Unit (GSU) officer stationed in Mombasa. 

The suspects are in custody at Muthaiga Police Station, and the vehicles are detained at DCI Headquarters.
