Raid nets alleged substance

Another raid in Sakoca has resulted in the arrest of two women following the discovery of dried leaves believed to be marijuana.

The raid conducted by the Serious Organised Crime and Intelligence Department (SOCID) and the Fiji Detector Dog Unit (FDDU) is the second at the same location where a man was arrested earlier this week following the discovery of white substances confirmed to be methamphetamine.

The accused in the earlier case was charged with one count of unlawful possession of illicit drugs and produced in court and remanded till the 19th of February 2025.

In the latest raid, dried leaves wrapped in aluminum foil believed to be marijuana, cash, alcohol, several mobile phones and assorted items believed to have been stolen were seized.

The two suspects were taken into custody as investigations continue.
