1400 Plants discovered
Drug operations continue around the country, as a raid in the hills of Navosa resulted in the discovery of more than 1,400 plants believed to be marijuana.
The Chief Operations Officer Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Abdul Khan said routine operations have been beefed up with the Divisional Task Forces focused on targeting crimes that often record increases during the festive season.
ACP Khan said that apart from the ongoing drug raids conducted in Kadavu, teams are targeting cultivators, while Task Forces are focused on peddlers and those involved.
He said operations are also focused on crimes liked to alcohol that often record increases during the Festive season.
A man from Korokadi in the Northern Division was arrested following a raid that led to the discovery of rice whiskey allegedly being brewed at his home.
The suspect remains in custody as investigations continue.
ACP Khan said divisional task forces will also be focused on bootleggers and ensuring business operators are operating within the ambits of their liquor licences.
