A man is in Police custody after he was allegedly caught with bullets of dried leaves believed to be marijuana at Narain Jetty last night.

Police say a tip led to the discovery of the drugs.

They say a team from the Totogo Police Station and Fiji Detector Dog Unit (FDDU), whilst conducting operations at the jetty, received a tip about a man that had transported marijuana on board an inter-island vessel.

Police add that the Dog Unit team noticed the man acting suspiciously, and took him to the Muaiwalu Police Post, where he was searched and drugs were discovered.

The seized substances have been sent for analysis and the suspect remains in custody.
