A 32-year-old woman from the Liahona area was arrested after being found with 20 packs of cannabis and 95 live ammunition on April 10.

Deputy Police Commissioner Pelenatita Fe’ao Vaisuai said today, the accused has been charged with possession of the illicit drugs and ammunition.

Police had seized 20 packs of cannabis (10.20 grams), 31 cannabis seeds and 95 live ammunition from her vehicle.

She is remanded in police custody to appear at the Magistrate Court at a later date.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Commissioner commended Houma's Community Patrol Volunteers for being vigilant in safeguarding their community and working closely with Police that resulted in this arrest.

“Having the trust and confidence of our communities is essential for Police and the good relationship we share with them allows us to work together to hold to account those involved in the supply and distribution of illicit drugs.”
