The police officers seized six sacks of bhang in the vehicle together with a reflective number plate“Not so lucky though for Collins Otieno, who was cornered and helped to a police car alongside six sacks of bhang that were found stashed in their vehicle.

A reflective motor vehicle plate with the number KDL 841X was also found in a carrier bag,” DCI added.
