Minister for Defence Pio Tikoduadua says the cases of ammunition being found and being handed over to the military is not an indication of anything.
While responding to questions by the media, Tikoduadua says they have had two or three situations where arms and ammunition have been found and they have been reported to the Police.
He says the investigations are going to determine the source of those ammunition and where they are from.
The Minister says the good thing is that people have come forward to bring those discovered ammunition to the military and to the police.
He says this is a measure of confidence and trust in the current operations of the police and the military.
Tikoduadua says ammunition should not be in the possession of anyone other than authorised central government agencies.
He is urging anyone who has ammunition unlawfully in their possession to return it.
Meanwhile, when questioned on whether he is concerned about security and the possible usage of the ammunition, Minister for Policing Ioane Naivalarua says he does not know what it could have been used for but says the good thing is that they have brought it forward to the relevant authorities, who are are going to find out how it came in.
