More than 100 plants, dried leaves and branches believed to be marijuana were discovered during a raid conducted by the Eastern Division Police task force earlier this week.

Chief Operations Officer Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police, Livai Driu say the raid was conducted by officers from the Eastern Division Taskforce, Criminal Investigations Department and K9 Unit.

He says it was conducted at Dogo Settlement, Nananu, Tailevu.

The suspect who was found inside his farm house, was arrested and taken into custody at the Korovou Police Station.

A/ACP Driu believes community policing efforts have led to increased cooperation between Police and the community, which has led to the increased sharing of information.

The Chief Operations Officer adds that community support is vital in curbing the illicit drug trade, and while there is a perception that the focus is solely on marijuana, similar efforts are being directed towards white drugs.

The Force is appreciative of everyone who continues to share information with Police and assures that all information will be looked into.
