Police have yet to charge the suspended police officer from Namaka Police Station who allegedly scooped methamphetamine from a wrapped container at Namaka Police Bure and fled the scene.

Police say the investigations into the matter continue.

Assistant Commissioner of Police - Crime Mesake Waqa had confirmed to fijivllage News that the drugs were part of the 3 tonnes of methamphetamine seized in Nadi earlier this month.

The officer had allegedly scooped up the drugs while unloading containers of drugs from Legalega to Namaka Police Station.

ACP Waqa says the man was arrested on last Tuesday from Nasoso in Nadi.
