Recent surge operations in the Northern Division have resulted in the arrest of multiple individuals for suspected unlawful possession of illicit drugs. Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations, Livai Driu, indicated that these operations are being bolstered by additional resources from specialized units, including the Police Mobile Force, the Fiji Detector Dog Unit, and the Police Dog Unit.
ACP Driu emphasized that a key focus of these efforts is to dismantle the supply chain of illegal drugs through various methods, such as farm raids, cleanup exercises, and the identification of distributors. He noted that community support plays a crucial role in these initiatives, as the sharing of information has proven vital to the success of recent raids in the Northern Division.
During the surge operations conducted yesterday, five men aged between 20 and 30 were taken into custody. Authorities also recovered items believed to be stolen. Investigations into these incidents are ongoing.
This proactive approach by law enforcement showcases a strong commitment to tackling drug-related issues and ensuring safer communities. The collaboration between the police and the community reflects a united front in the fight against drugs, suggesting a hopeful path towards reducing crime and enhancing public safety.
As authorities continue their efforts, the engagement and vigilance of the community will be essential to support these operations and foster a healthier environment for all.
