Four arrested in Lautoka drug raids

Four people have been arrested following two separate drug raids conducted by the Joint Task Force in Lautoka.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations Kasiano Vusonilawe says the raids were yesterday in Tavakubu and Vio Road.

In the first raid in Tavakubu, an 18-year-old student and a 24-year-old man were allegedly found with white substances believed to be methamphetamine.

Both suspects were taken into custody while the seized substances were sent for analysis.

In the second raid at Vio Road, a 38-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman were arrested following the discovery of several plastic bags containing white substances believed to be illicit drugs.

Police also seized local and foreign currency believed to be proceeds of crime.

The substances seized during the raid have been sent for analysis.

Vusonilawe says successful raids conducted by the Joint Task Force and routine operations teams are a result of intelligence sharing and tips received from members of the public.

The Fiji Police Force is urging members of the public to report drug-related activities through the 1681 toll-free number.
