One of the biggest drug busts in the country has been undertaken by the Fiji Police Force in the Nadi area.

Overnight fijivillage News received confirmation that a significant amount of hard drugs including methamphetamine was found by Police during the operation.

Acting Police Commissioner, Juki Fong Chew says they would not be able to establish the street value of the drugs as yet but by the huge amount of seizure of approximately 3.5 tonnes, they may say it is worth millions of dollars.

Chew says the team is in the early stages of the investigation as they try and ascertain who is or who all are connected to this.

One of the biggest methamphetamine lab busts in Fiji was back in 2004 at Laucala Beach where over $1 billion worth of hard drugs was seized.
