Two men were arrested with methamphetamine on June 19 in ongoing Tonga Police operations targeting drug dealers in their vehicles.

Police said that the men were arrested in a vehicle at Ma’ufanga, with 0.87 grams of methamphetamine, 26 bullets, drug utensils and around $200 pa'anga cash.

The accused from Longolongo and Hofoa have been charged with possession of illicit drugs and ammunition. They will appear at the Magistrate's Court on a date to be confirmed.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Tevita Vailea said today, preventing illicit drugs supply is a high priority for the Police, and they would continue to target those who supply drugs within our community and hold them to account for their crimes.

He said that anyone with information about drug related offending can contact police on (676) 22784.
