Man Arrested with Suspected Cannabis at Watiti Roadblock

WATITI: A man was arrested yesterday, 2025, after he was found in possession of approximately three kilograms of suspected cannabis sativa at the Watiti Roadblock.

Police officers manning the roadblock acted swiftly on intelligence received from a vigilant member of the public, who reported a suspicious motorbike rider hesitant to approach the police barrier.

Shortly after, the rider, on a motorbike bearing registration number KMQZ 007K, approached the roadblock and attempted to evade the road spikes but was intercepted by officers on duty.

Upon searching the rider—who had a blue safari bag strapped to his back—police discovered dried plant material suspected to be cannabis sativa.

The suspect was immediately arrested and taken to Bute Police Station, where he was placed in custody. He is expected to be arraigned in court today, August 5, 2025.

The National Police Service reaffirmed its commitment to combating the trafficking and abuse of narcotics and psychotropic substances across the country.
