A 33-year-old man from Fiji was apprehended at Nadi International Airport on Friday after authorities discovered white crystal substances believed to be methamphetamine in his possession.
The successful arrest stemmed from a collaboration between the Fiji Police Force and the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS). Utilizing a K9 unit, customs officials conducted a search of the suspect after he arrived on an international flight. The detection by the K9 officer led to a thorough examination of the individual’s luggage, which resulted in the recovery of the suspected drug.
The seized substances have been sent for further analysis to confirm their composition. Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations, Livai Driu, expressed gratitude for the teamwork among various border enforcement agencies in their commitment to combating drug trafficking in Fiji, emphasizing their unified goal of protecting citizens from the dangers posed by illicit drugs.
The ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies highlight the importance of collaboration in ensuring the safety and security of the community. Enhancing border enforcement measures continues to be a crucial strategy in the fight against drug-related crimes.
