Two senior police officers within the CID department headquarters have been sent on leave pending investigations into the missing drugs.

This was confirmed to FBC News by Police Director Operations SSP Rusiate Tudravu.

“I can confirm that 2 officers from the Drug Unit have been sent on leave. That is the normal procedures that we follow, it does not mean they are implicated or being charged of the offense, it’s just normal because it is under their responsibility, so they are under investigation.”

Police have yet to recover the alleged cocaine.
