Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has congratulated the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service and the Fiji Police Force officers for successfully intercepting the yacht and weapons in Viti Levu waters.

Rabuka made the comments to fijivillage News after confirmation of the yacht intercepted with an undisclosed amount of guns.

Rabuka says he challenged them on the recent big hauls of drugs to improve their vigilance or they would be suspected of being a rogue organization.
