Two women are in custody following another raid conducted at Sakoca settlement that resulted in the discovery of dried leaves believed to be marijuana, cash, alcohol, several mobile phones and assorted items believed to have been stolen.

Police say the raid was conducted by the Serious Organised Crime and Intelligence Department and the Fiji Detector Dog Unit.

They say this is the second raid at the same location where a man was arrested earlier this week following the discovery of white substances confirmed to be methamphetamine.

They say the accused in the earlier case was charged with one count of unlawful possession of illicit drugs and produced in court and remanded until next Wednesday.

The two suspects were taken into custody as investigations continue.
