Police in Bomet County are holding a woman over allegedly being in possession of bhang rolls.
Margaret Moraa was nabbed at her house in Silibwet Trading Center, shortly after her release, after she was arrested with a similar merchandise earlier.
The police were reportedly working on a tipoff from members of the public and neigbours.
The people had reportedly raised alarm after noticing a suspicious movement of strangers to and from her house.
The arrest was confirmed by Bomet Central police chief Geoffrey Walumbe.
The officer said that the law enforcers arrived at the right time to rescue the suspect from irate residents who wanted to lynch her.
The 50-year-old woman was out on a Ksh10, 000 cash bail after being arraigned for similar charges at the Bomet Law Courts earlier.
In the intial case, according to the Citizen Digital, the suspect was nabbed with several rolls of the same drug.
She was arrested on grounds of being in possession of bhang, and is likely to be arraigned using the same charges one again.
Bhang is one of the illegal drugs in Kenya as per the rules of the land, and being caught while in possession, selling or using it can attract tough punitive measures from the courts.
