A 40-year-old man has been arrested at the HFC Bank Stadium after he was allegedly found with dried leaves believed to be marijuana.

Assistant Commissioner of Police – Operations, Livai Driu is warning everyone to keep the Coca-Cola Games clean and drug free.

He says anyone thinking of sneaking drugs into the games venue should think twice, as officers from the Fiji Detector Dog Unit and Police Dog Unit are conducting checks at the points of entries and inside the stadium.

ACP Driu says spot checks will be conducted throughout the day to ensure the safety of athletes, students and those who want to enjoy the games.
