Three people are in Police custody following the discovery of substances believed to be marijuana and methamphetamine.

Chief of Operations Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Livai Driu says the first raid was conducted in Batinikama, Labasa, where a 49-year-old farmer was arrested following the discovery of dried leaves and seeds believed to be marijuana.

He says the second raid was conducted in Tuatua, Labasa, where a woman and a man were arrested following the discovery of white substances believed to be methamphetamine and smoking apparatus.

ACP Driu says the arrests are significant as the drugs were destined to be sold, impacting innocent lives and society.

ACP Driu further says money alleged to be proceeds of crime was also seized in one of the raids.
