Four South American nationals and two Fijians are in police custody following an early morning drug raid in Vatia waters, north of Viti Levu, between Ba and Tavua.
Commissioner of Police Rusiate Tudravu says more than 100 bags containing parcels believed to be cocaine were seized by officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Serious Organised Crime and Intelligence Department (SOCID) and the Western Division Taskforce.
Tudravu says the raid was the result of collaboration between local and foreign law enforcement.
Police investigations continue.
