Acting on a tip off from the members of the public, police were able to recover nine bags of already rolled cannabis sativa and another 8 containing the unrefined drug were found at various concealed spots by the help of a sniffer dog.
However, Molinter, the Migori woman, was in a company of two other suspects who managed to flee the scene before the sleuths rounded them up leaving Molinter in the homestead leading to her arrest.
The home is said to be owned by one Osege Odhiambo, who was also not arrested at the time of operation. Reports indicate that Osege’s home has been used for puposes of concealing the drugs before they are being supplied.
