A 26-year-old mechanic from Sabeto Central and a 32-year-old man residing in Duna Place, Nadi, were stopped by the Police K-9 Unit while traveling along Waiyavi in Lautoka. During their encounter, law enforcement officers uncovered two clear plastic bags containing a white substance, which is suspected to be methamphetamine.
In a different operation, a Public Service Vehicle driver from Cunningham was arrested after authorities discovered marijuana seedlings in his possession. Following this, a raid on his residence, carried out by the Fiji Dog Detector Unit alongside the Police K-9 Unit, led to the discovery of additional seedlings thought to be marijuana.
The three suspects are currently in police custody as investigations continue.
