Two men alleged to be involved in bootlegging operations are in police custody after two raids were conducted by the Northern Division Taskforce team.

Police say the first raid was at the home of a 52-year-old man at Naqere, Vatudamu, which resulted in the seizure of a large amount of alcohol believed to have been for sale.

They say the second raid was in Naweni, where a 32-year-old man was arrested following the seizure of homebrew, dried leaves and seedlings believed to be marijuana.

Both men remain in custody as Police investigations continue.
