Seven people, including a suspended police officer arrested in a methamphetamine and cocaine bust last month, are expected to appear on November 25, at the Fasi Magistrate’s Court.

The accused have been similarly charged with possession in the seizure of 20.85 grams of methamphetamine and two grams of cocaine from Ngele’ia and ‘Anana, on September 3.

Police Prosecution confirmed today, the accused are Kautai Moala, ‘Asaeli Teulilo, Kiko Uata, Harry Vamani, Tevita 'Alatini, Seini Taione, with ‘Amini Vaipulu (a suspended police officer).

They have all been released on bail to appear at the lower court, after the case was adjourned to await on the test results of the illicit drugs from New Zealand.

The accused included one woman and six men, aged between 24-40 years old.

Meanwhile, the police officer had been suspended for a previous incident before this alleged offence.
