At least 33 drunk High School students have been arrested in Chuka, Tharaka Nithi County, with rolls of bhang.

The 33 drunk students were travelling home after closing school.

The speeding vehicle belonging to Huruma Minibus Sacco passed a police roadblock along the Nairobi-Chuka Highway after efforts to stop the driver failed.

Meru South OCPD Sayia Baraza said the minibus was intercepted at Kangoro Market at the border of Tharaka-Nithi and Embu Counties after a chase down.

They discovered the unruly students with a roll of bhang and two cans of alcohol on the floor of the minibus that reportedly belongs to Huruma Sacco in Nairobi.
