Parcels allegedly containing cocaine found in an island in Lau Group and Taveuni

Another nine parcels containing white substance believed to be cocaine have been found on an island in the Lau group.

Police say the discovery was made yesterday and the Organised Crime Unit that is currently in Lakeba will be travelling to the island today.

The team is in Lakeba conducting investigations into the earlier find earlier this month.

Earlier this week a similar discovery was made in Taveuni.

Information was received by Police Officers on Monday who were deployed to the scene where seven parcels containing substance believed to be cocaine were found.

This is the third discovery made this month where identical parcels have been discovered washed ashore.

All these parcels believed to contain cocaine have been found along the shore.

The names of the villages have not been revealed upon the request from the village headmen as they are concerned about their safety.

Police are asking members of the public to report any discovery to Police by calling their nearest Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 919.
