A 52-year-old woman was arrested yesterday at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva after she was allegedly found in possession of drugs concealed in a bag.

Chief of Operations ACP Livai Driu says while conducting clearance duties with officers from the Fiji Detector Dog Unit and Police Dog Unit, K9 Tiny indicated the presence of alleged illicit substances.

An officer then conducted a search and found a plastic bag containing white substances believed to be methamphetamine in the suspect’s bag.

The suspect was arrested and escorted to the Totogo Police Station while the seized substances were sent for analysis.

Yesterday, a 40-year-old man was also arrested at the Fiji Finals after he was allegedly found with dried leaves believed to be marijuana.

ACP Driu says operations will be beefed up today and tomorrow, focusing on ensuring the safety and security of athletes, students, supporters, and those who want to enjoy the best of secondary school athletics.
