Officers from the Fiji Revenue and Customs Authority intercepted a parcel containing Methamphetamine from the Suva Post Office this morning.
The illicit drug which was concealed inside a tube was sent from the US and was addressed to a local woman.
The suspect went to the Post Office to collect the parcel.
The Customs Officer based at the Suva Post Office felt suspicions and upon examination it was established that Methamphetamine was allegedly obscured in a tube.
FRCA’s Acting CEO Visvanath Das said he commends their officers for carrying out their duties diligently in ensuring our borders are protected from the infiltration of illicit drugs.
He said while the drug concealment methods are getting complex, they have to work smarter to apprehend the perpetrators.
Das said the seizure is also a warning to all those individuals wanting to bring in illegal drugs that FRCA officers and police are vigilant in their work to ensure our borders are safe.
The Methamphetamine will be handed to Police for further investigations.
They are currently trying to ascertain the value of the drugs seized.
