The identity of the intended recipient of the seized arms and ammunition remains undisclosed, as confirmed by Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu.
The weapons were intercepted in a joint effort by the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service, the Fiji Navy, and the Fiji Police Force.
During a press conference, Tudravu confirmed that the seizure last night included one firearm and 600 ammunitions.
The firearm and ammunition arrived from Tonga last night, and Tudravu says police are working with Tongan authorities to verify the shipment’s documentation.
“As of now it is just confirming, verifying the documents. We know that they follow the process but we just want to verify some of the things. Last night it was Fiji Revenue and Customs, they handed the report for police to take over investigation.”
He also clarified that there were no drugs on board as their K9 unit was also deployed.
Tudravu says police investigation is continuing.
