A package of illegal contraband thrown into the Suva Corrections Center in Walu Bay was intercepted yesterday.

The incident occurred at approximately 11am, deliberately targeting lunch routine operations when inmates were moving from their dormitories to the kitchen mess hall.

Fiji Corrections Service security systems and CCTV cameras have captured the suspects and their vehicle registration details.

The FCS is working closely with the Fiji Police Force to locate and arrest the people involved.

Acting Commissioner of Corrections, Auta Moceisuva condemned the incident, stating that such actions directly undermine the rehabilitation of inmates.

Moceisuva says this is a prime example of the lack of support from members of the public who continue to fuel this illegal activity.

He says they have identified the people involved through their security systems and CCTV, recorded their car registration numbers, and are now working with the Police to bring them to justice.

The seized contraband items includes 17 rolls of marijuana, 2 sachets of methamphetamine crystals, and 45 rolls of Suki.

It also includes one touch-screen mobile phone, one button mobile phone, one thumb-sized phone, and one charging cable.

The other items seized also includes a gas lighter, two packets of chocolate, two packets of chewing gum, and two packets of snacks.

The FCS maintains a zero-tolerance policy on contraband and continues to strengthen its surveillance to block illegal entry points into the prison system.
