A 28-year-old man is charged with unlawful possession of illicit drugs namely methamphetamine and will be produced in the Rakiraki Magistrates Court.

The accused was arrested following a joint raid by officers from the Narcotics Bureau, Eastern Division and Fiji Detector Dog Unit in Waimari, Rakiraki earlier this week.

Police also discovered $20,000 cash believed to be from proceeds from the sale of drugs.

In another raid conducted in Martintar, Nadi, a 35-year-old woman is charged with one count of unlawful possession of illicit drugs after she was allegedly found with marijuana and methamphetamine.

Meanwhile, two people were arrested from Namadi Heights after a joint raid where zip lock plastics containing white crystals believed to be methamphetamine and smoking apparatuses were allegedly discovered.

Police says the seized substance has been sent for analysis.

Police says they receive information on alleged drug related activities everyday.

They have thanked the public for supporting efforts in tackling the illicit drug trade.
