Two men, aged 53 and 29, were taken into custody in connection with this raid.
Additionally, ACP Driu noted that in the Western Division, a 46-year-old man was arrested in Solovi, Nadi, after police discovered more than 170 sachets of dried leaves believed to be marijuana in his possession. He is currently in custody while investigations proceed.
