Police officers conducted raids at Vatubalavu in Navosa

More than 600 plants believed to be marijuana were uprooted from a farm in Navosa yesterday.

Police say they conducted raids at Vatubalavu in Navosa following a tip-off from a concerned citizen.

They say investigators are following leads on the owner of the farm and they are expecting more raids.

Divisional Police Commander West, Senior Superintendent of Police  Surend Sami commended the officers from Sigatoka for their dedication and hard work spending long hours in the interior of Navosa trying to locate the farm.

SSP Sami says they are still on alert as they try to eradicate these illicit drugs from the streets and will come down hard on anyone that is found with drugs.
