The Fiji Police Force will look into the serious concerns raised by Navua residents that there are about 6 to 7 drug dealers openly selling drugs around the Navua Town area.

While speaking during the public submissions of the Parliamentary Committee on Justice, Law and Human Rights, a Navua resident said that everyone including the Police know about these drug dealers, however she claims that nothing is done by the Police officers in the area.

She says that if anyone goes to Navua now, they can find the dealers on the streets.

When contacted by Fijivillage, Police confirmed that their Divisional Commander Southern will be looking into this issue.

Spokesperson, Ana Naisoro says they have encouraged members of the public to come forward with information about drug related activities and therefore Police will not take this lightly.
