A Fiji Corrections Officer has been suspended after a raid at his home in Lautoka led to the retrieval of an incriminating video, drug packaging material, and cash.
The officer was apprehended in a vehicle with a known ex-convict, a prominent figure in the drug trade.
The Police Dog Unit conducted a thorough investigation after receiving information about possible illicit activities involving the officer.
A search warrant was executed at the officer’s home, revealing significant findings that underscore serious concerns regarding the officer’s involvement in illegal drug activities.
The officer was found using his phone to arrange the delivery of marijuana, suki, and ice, along with $400 cash believed to be proceeds of crime and $44 worth of mobile phone recharge vouchers.
Photos retrieved from the officer’s phone show him with one of the 13 individuals accused in the 3-tonne drug bust in Legalega, Nadi.
