Five men between the ages of 20 and 30 years have been arrested for alleged unlawful possession of illicit drugs during surge operations in the Northern Division.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations Livai Driu says items which were believed to have been stolen were also seized during the operations.
Driu says divisional surge operations are being supported by additional manpower from specialised units such as the Police Mobile Force, Fiji Detector Dog Unit, and Police Dog Unit.
ACP Driu says disrupting the supply market remains a priority through farm raids, mop-up exercises and the targeting of distributors.
He adds the sharing of information has also been instrumental in the success of raids conducted in the Northern Division, as community support grows for the war on drugs.
Investigations continue.
