The three men who were found with white substances that were tested positive to be methamphetamine following two raids in the Nakasi area on Saturday have been charged.

Police say a 38-year-old technician, 38-year-old businessman, and a 30-year-old self-employed man have all been charged with one count each of unlawful possession of illicit drugs.

They will be appearing at the Nasinu Magistrates Court today.

Chief Operations Officer, ACP Livai Driu says the raids were conducted on Saturday afternoon.

The first raid conducted at Dilo Street led to the arrest of a 38-year-old technician after several zip lock plastic bags containing clear crystals believed to be methamphetamine and smoking apparatus were found in his home.

ACP Driu also says the second raid was conducted at Vishnu Deo Road where two men aged 38 and 30 were arrested after zip lock bags containing clear crystals believed to be methamphetamine were found in their possession.
