A 31-year-old woman has been arrested during a drug raid at the Mead Road housing complex and is set to appear in the Magistrates Court in Suva today. She faces a charge of Unlawful Possession of Illicit Drugs after a substantial quantity of what is believed to be marijuana was discovered during the operation.
The raid was executed by a collaborative team comprising the Southern Division’s Serious Organised Crime and Intelligence Department, K9 Unit, and Crime Intelligence Unit. Authorities seized numerous large zip lock bags containing dried leaves, along with more than 100 branches thought to be marijuana.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations Livai Driu confirmed that the operation also resulted in the seizure of smoking equipment and items suspected to be stolen. This raid is part of the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat drug-related activities and other crimes in areas identified as high-risk.
This highlights the persistent commitment of the police force to enhance community safety and reduce drug-related crimes. Such operations are crucial in addressing the challenges posed by illicit substances and ensuring that affected areas are monitored and protected.
In summary, the police raid underscores the importance of proactive measures in maintaining law and order, with hopes that similar actions will lead to safer neighborhoods and a reduction in drug-related incidents.
