He stresses that their fight against drugs continues, and they are working to make Fiji free from drugs.

The fight continues in the form of raids, media awareness, and by Community Policing Officers in settlements and schools.

The Acting Commissioner adds that engagements with the Force’s external partners continue as part of their fight against illicit drugs.

The seized drugs are in police custody, and the investigation into the matter continues.
