Part of Fiji eradication campaigns (2022)

Police drug operations across all four divisions in mid-August 2022 produced multiple seizures and arrests. In Cakaudrove, more than 27,000 cannabis plants were discovered across five farms in the highlands above Koroivonu village. In Kadavu, more than 4,000 plants were uprooted from an unidentified farm in the Lawaki terrain. In Nadi, a hotel raid by the Fiji Detector Dog Unit, Nadi Operations and Narcotics Team led to one arrest of a man from Savusavu found with dried leaves believed to be cannabis. A separate Nadi arrest involved a man from Malolo found with suspected methamphetamine. Two farmers from Navosa were arrested with dried cannabis. Three men were arrested at Nukuloa village with dried leaves and seedlings. Acting Commissioner of Police Abdul Khan attributed the operations to information received from members of the public.
