Following a tip-off received via the Directorate of Crime Investigation (DCI) hot-line, detectives have on Friday, raided a gated quarter acre plot in London, Nakuru County and discovered a plantation suspected to be cannabis sativa.
It was learnt that the fully grown plantation was only awaiting harvest, when a multi agency security team led by Nakuru Anti-Narcotics sleuths, stormed into the compound and destroyed what would have been a bumper harvest for the owners.
Three suspects, Victor Kung’u Wainaina, Broddus Wainaina Kung’u and Dennis Matete, were found within the compound and were arrested on suspicion of cultivating the plant, approximated to have a street value of Sh15 million.
“The suspects are currently in custody awaiting arraignment in court,” a Police detective disclosed.
