A team from the Joint Serious and Organised Crime Unit, based in Suva and the West, conducted a raid in Nadi on Thursday afternoon, resulting in the arrest of five men suspected of involvement in the drug trade.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Crime, Mesake Waqa, reported that several sachets containing a white substance, believed to be methamphetamine, alongside dried leaves thought to be marijuana, were confiscated during the operation.
The seized items have been forwarded for analysis as investigations proceed, and the arrested individuals are currently in custody.
Additionally, multiple arrests were made over the past week involving individuals suspected of selling green and white drugs across the five policing divisions.
The Fiji Police Force expressed gratitude for the community’s assistance in providing information that has contributed to these arrests and seizures. They urge anyone with relevant information to contact 917 or Crimestoppers at 919.
