Four men have been arrested with methamphetamine and cannabis at three different locations in Tongatapu, in an ongoing operation by Tonga Police.

The Police Drug Enforcement Taskforce last week made the arrests and seized 1.90 grams of methamphetamine, 19.21 grams of cannabis, over $2,000 pa’anga cash and drug utensils.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Tevita Vailea said today that they would continue to disrupt the supply of illicit drugs that negatively impact our communities, with these arrests made at Mataika, Ma'ufanga and Hihifo road at Puke.

They have been charged accordingly and will appear at the lower court on a later date. 

“These arrests show that those who are seeking to profit from the harm these drugs cause can continue to expect to be targeted by Police."

Tonga Police urged anyone who has information on drug dealing in our communities to contact them.
