Successful Raid

A raid conducted at Tuatua Village, Koro, this morning resulted in the seizure of dried leaves believed to be marijuana.

Chief Operations Officer ACP Abdul Khan said the raid resulted in the seizure of dried leaves and seeds believed to be marijuana.

The suspect and all occupants of the home are in Police custody as investigations continue.

Earlier this week raids conducted in Savusavu also resulted in dried leaves believed to be marijuana.

The team after conducting further enquiries managed to locate the suspect’s farm where plants believed to be marijuana were uprooted.

ACP Khan said as more information is received on the alleged cultivation and trade of the illegal substance, officers are being pushed forward to ensure all efforts are directed towards arresting those involved.
