One gun and 600 ammunition were seized through a joint operation by Police, Fiji Revenue and Customs Service and Fiji Navy on a vessel in Viti Levu waters yesterday.
Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu highlighted this during a press conference at the Fiji Police Force Headquarters this morning.
Tudravu confirms that only one gun was discovered and not 350 guns as earlier reported.
When asked about reports surfacing about more vessels carrying weapons, he says they have not received any other reports.
