Police are pushing for official complaints from anyone who sees videos of youths injecting suspected drugs online.
The Force says investigations cannot move forward without clear evidence and an official report.
Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu stated that taking any case to court requires a proper complaint and a solid trail of evidence.
He explains that a formal process allows investigators to gather material, analyse it and build a case that will stand in court.
He advises anyone with knowledge of drug activity to come forward so police can act.
“Yeah, it’s only good that we have an official complaint. The process of investigation will be easier, and also it will be formal for us to have an official complaint.”
Tudravu also warns that the country is seeing illegal drugs reach villages instead of merely passing through.
He says officers have been working across Kadavu, Navosa and Cakaudrove with emerging concerns in Lomaiviti and Lau to uproot marijuana plants and disrupt local supply lines.

He stresses that villages must stay alert and report suspicious behaviour because the spread of drugs can only be stopped with active vigilance.
Tudravu adds that young Fijians face the greatest risk as exposure to cultivation and trade can make the drug economy appear normal.
He calls on parents, village leaders and youth groups to support prevention efforts and help steer young people away from these networks.
He confirms the Force is guarding borders closely and making arrests but says the greatest impact comes from acting early while the problem is still manageable.
Tudravu adds that a united approach will protect communities and give young people safer, lawful ways to earn a living.
