Another 14 brown parcels believed to contain cocaine discovered in the Yasawa's

Another 14 brown parcels believed to contain cocaine have been discovered in the Yasawa group of islands.

The discovery was made on Monday and Tuesday.

Police say the first discovery of 10 parcels was made by three people who were on their way to collect seaweed and the second discovery of two parcels was made by a farmer who was returning from his farm.

A man also found other parcels which washed ashore and all had similar brown packaging with the picture of a buffalo.

The Commissioner of Police Sitiveni Qiliho says investigations are underway with the Fiji Navy and Australian authorities.

With the discoveries being made in different locations across Fiji, the assistance of the Fiji Navy and Australian authorities will help in identifying other likely places the parcels could be found.

Police say the equipment believed to have initially stored the parcels has been discovered in one of the outer islands.

Police had earlier stated that 89 bars of cocaine have been found in the Lau Group, Savusavu, Taveuni and Lomaiviti.

Police say 45 bars were found in Lau, 7 bars in Taveuni, 1 bar in Savusavu and 36 bars in Lomaiviti.

Members of the public are requested to call the toll free number 3318 529 if they have made similar discoveries or know if anyone is selling the illicit substances.
