HUNT ON FOR DRUG OWNERS
POLICE have seized over 4000 marijuana plants at Keiyasi, Nadroga, since
launching a drug operation early this week.
A Government analyst from the Koronivia Research Station, who accompanied
the police tactical response team there, confirmed the plants to be
marijuana.
Officers are trying to locate the owners of farms from where the plants were
uprooted.
Police spokesman Mesake Koroi said drug cases had increased in the past four
to five years with most offenders being in the over 25 age group.
He expressed concern at the number of drugs found in schools, calling on
teachers to monitor the behaviour of students and to report suspicious
characters to police.
