With drug operation underway, police found white substances believed to be methamphetamine in a school compound.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations Livai Driu adds that in the Northern Division, two suspects are facing possible obstruction charges for attempting to destroy dried leaves believed to be marijuana.

ACP Driu also states that a man was arrested in Savusavu for the alleged unlawful possession of methamphetamine.

In the Western Division, arrests were made at a Lautoka juice stand, along Vitogo Parade, and in Sigatoka and Rakiraki.

ACP Driu highlights that the success of these operations has been bolstered by information sharing, as community members have begun speaking out against the illicit drug trade.

He adds that the support from the community boosts the morale of police officers, knowing they have public backing in their efforts to reduce the supply of illicit drugs.
