Three individuals are currently in police custody following a drug raid that uncovered sachets of dried leaves suspected to be marijuana, packaged in aluminum foil. According to police reports, two of the men were apprehended on Sunday afternoon, while the third was taken into custody the following day.
During the operation, which involved the Fiji Dog Detector Unit (FDDU), law enforcement officials targeted a residence in Tamole Settlement, New Town. A 56-year-old unemployed man and a 23-year-old car wash attendant voluntarily handed over a total of 117 sachets of the substance hidden within the property.
The third suspect, a 53-year-old casual worker residing in Newtown Settlement, was arrested after police discovered additional dried leaves believed to be marijuana in his home. He also voluntarily surrendered a portion of the substance. All three suspects remain in police custody as investigations carry on.
This incident underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to tackle drug-related issues in the community. With continued vigilance from authorities, there is hope that such operations may deter illicit drug activities and promote a safer environment for residents.
