Two men who were arrested following a drug raid in Naikabula, Lautoka last week have been released on bail by the Lautoka Magistrates Court.

43-year old businessmen Sanjesh Chand and 47-year old labourer Vinesh Chand have been charged with one count each of unlawful possession of illicit drugs.

They have been released on a bail bond of $400 and have been told to report to the Lautoka Police Station every Tuesday between 7am to 7pm.

Police say they were charged after the substances analyzed returned positive for methamphetamine and marijuana.

The case will be called on the 15th of next month for mention.
