Serious Organised Crime Department officer Josua Cakausese says illicit drugs were found on a table and in another bedroom at a house at Lot 134 Rewa Street on the 23rd of September, 2025.
While giving evidence during the hearing, Cakausese says when they arrived at the scene, the house was locked and a Palauan Islander was inside.
He says when Ginna Choi arrived, he explained to them the reason for the search.
He says cash was also seized.
During cross-examination, defence lawyer Jerry Dinati questioned Cakausese on whether Choi was found in possession of any drugs at Lot 170, and Cakausese agreed that she was not.
He also agreed that they searched the house without a search warrant.
However, during re-examination by State lawyer Eoghn Samisoni, Cakausese explained that Section 22 of the Illicit Drugs Control Act allows them to do so.
Yu Yang Feng, Minghui Dai and Zhou Lan are each charged with one count of unlawful possession of illicit drugs for allegedly being found with 39.509 grams of methamphetamine.

Feng was allegedly found with $906.25 in cash.
