The substance has been sent for analysis.

Investigations continue.

Acting Commissioner of Police, Rusiate Tudravu, says the war on drugs continues with great momentum with the focus on both green and white drugs.

Tudravu says the war will require everyone’s support as Police will not be able to fight it alone.

The Acting Commissioner says this is also one of the main reasons as to why the organization has taken a tough stand against officers who are found to be involved in the illicit trade.

ACP Tudravu says every seizure is considered a success irrespective of its size.
