He was arrested as he attempted to evade the detectives.
Officer Ochokorodi mentioned: “The suspect was arrested as he tried to lock the door of the building where the bhang was being stored. We suspect that he had gotten the information and that’s why he was trying to escape.
“We have started our investigation to establish where the bhang originates from. We cannot allow this trade to be done here, we will continue dealing with the traffickers,” he added.
The suspect is set to be arraigned at Shanzu Law Court later Tuesday to answer charges of drugs trafficking.
