A 26-year-old woman was arrested at Buruburu Police Station after officers said they found rolls of bhang hidden inside a loaf of bread she had brought for her detained boyfriend.
Police on Monday, September 21, identified the woman as Bernice Achieng. She reportedly went to the report office desk and asked officers to pass the bread to her boyfriend, who is in custody. Officers said the package was unsealed, which raised their suspicion.
On inspection, officers said they found 5 rolls of bhang and a matchbox buried deep inside the bread. A search of Achieng then turned up another 7 rolls in her jacket pocket, bringing the total recovered to 12 rolls.
Police arrested Achieng and secured the items as exhibits. She is set to be arraigned in court.
Similar Attempt Reported at Ruai Police Station
The case comes days after a similar incident at Ruai Police Station. Police said an 18-year-old woman, Christine Njoki Gitau, attempted to smuggle escape tools to 3 suspects held in remand.
According to police, Gitau arrived at the station reception with a plate of rice and meat and asked to visit 3 friends, Emmanuel Bosire, Ismael Arisa, and Brian Gatheru. The three suspects were being held over allegations of running an anonymous TikTok page to lure young women into meetings before robbing and gang-raping them.

During a routine inspection, the cell sentry found a pair of pliers and a shear beneath the rice. Gitau was arrested, and detectives have launched an investigation into possible accomplices.
Following both incidents, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reminded the public that aiding or attempting to aid an escape from lawful custody is a serious criminal offense punishable by law.
