The house in Matalevu, Tavua where Winchester bullets were discovered, was not vacant when items were seized.

Winchester carries a variety of component bullets for both centrefire rifle and handgun ammunition usually used for hunting and personal defence.

So far, there is no indication of any arrests being made by the police.

Meanwhile, concerns continue to grow after a gun and 600 rounds of ammunition were seized through a joint operation by Police, Fiji Revenue and Customs Service and Fiji Navy on a vessel in Viti Levu waters last Wednesday.

When earlier questioned by fijivillage News about reports suggesting that more vessels might be smuggling weapons, Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu says no further reports have been received.
