4 students caught allegedly smoking marijuana at primary schools athletics meet

Four students were referred to police during a primary schools athletics meet in Suva after allegedly smoking marijuana.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations, Livai Driu says the students were found with smoking apparatuses in a washroom and were handed over to the security before police arrived.

He says the parents of the students were informed and the students were counselled on the consequences of their actions.

The Fiji Police Force urges parents and guardians to continually speak to their children about the devastating consequences of illicit drugs.

They say without it, children may seek advice from sources that do not have their best interests at heart.
