A 47-year-old man from Tacirua Heights is in police custody after he was found allegedly packing white substances believed to be methamphetamine.

This was following a raid conducted by police yesterday after receiving information from concerned people.

Assistant Commissioner of Police – Operations (ACP) Livai Driu says a further search conducted resulted in the discovery of syringes and equipment allegedly used for the packing of the illicit substances.

The seized substances have been sent for analysis.

ACP Driu says the sharing of information is a positive sign of police-community collaboration in curbing the illicit trade.
