A 35-year-old man from Mataika was arrested after the seizure of methamphetamine and cannabis on March 31 by the Police Drug Enforcement Taskforce.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Tevita Vailea said the accused was issued with a bench warrant, after he failed to appear in Court for a separate case. 

The accused was then located and arrested from a Guest House at Kolomotu'a with 7.87 grams of methamphetamine and 1.09 grams of cannabis. 

He has been charged with possession of illicit drugs and other related offences. He is remanded in police custody to appear in Court on a later date. 

“We encourage anyone who may have information about drug related offending to contact 7704660.”
