More than 600 plants believed to be marijuana have been seized during a recent police raid on a farm in the interior of Nalawa, Rakiraki.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations Livai Driu says three men have been arrested during the raid and are in police custody.

ACP Driu says apart from the plants, branches and sacks of green leaves believed to be marijuana were also seized.

He adds seizures for both white and green drugs continue to be made in the five policing divisions as they focus on those involved in the supply of the illicit substances.
