Authorities have confirmed the detention of several individuals following coordinated raids conducted in Fiji’s Central, Southern, and Western Divisions. These operations, spearheaded by the Serious Organized Crime and Intelligence Department, in collaboration with the Detector Dog Unit, the Police Mobile Force, and the Fiji Immigration Department, have led to significant breakthroughs in combating organized crime.
The raids resulted in multiple arrests and the confiscation of substances believed to be methamphetamine, alongside large sums of local and foreign currency. This successful operation highlights the continued commitment of the Fiji Police Force to tackle organized crime and drug-related offenses across the nation.
Previously, similar raids in areas such as Raiwai have also led to the seizure of suspected methamphetamine, foreign and local currency, as well as stolen items including electronics. These combined efforts by various policing divisions emphasize a strategic approach to maintaining public safety and reducing organized crime.
The ongoing operations underscore the police’s proactive stance in securing a safer environment for the community. By disrupting the operations of organized criminal networks, these efforts aim to deter further criminal activities and reassure residents of the police’s dedication to law enforcement. Authorities have stated that more details regarding these operations will be made available in the near future, as investigations continue to be a vital part of achieving long-term security goals in affected communities.
