Two men remain in police custody following their arrest in a cocaine bust near Vuda, Lautoka earlier this week.
Police Chief of Intelligence and Investigation, ACP Henry Brown says they’re having consultations with officers at the Director of Public Prosecutions to formulate the relevant charges to be laid.
Police have also applied an extension for custody of the two suspects being held for more than 48 hours which has been granted.
