Five Arrested for Alleged Drug Possession in Nasinu

Five people were arrested last night in Narere, Nasinu, after police found six zip lock bags containing white crystals suspected to be methamphetamine.

The arrests were confirmed by Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations (ACPO) Livai Driu, who stated that police are continuing daily drug raids to combat illegal activities.

In another operation, a police team uprooted 272 plants believed to be marijuana from the Tacilevu farming area in Savusavu.
