More than 11,000 plants believed to be marijuana were uprooted during a drug operation in the Nasuva farming area on October 2.

The operation involved officers from Savusavu, the Northern Division Taskforce and the North Police Rugby team. Police are yet to establish the owner of the farm.

The seized plants will undergo analysis as investigations continue.

In a separate operation in Sabeto, Western Division, a man in his 40s was arrested after police allegedly found a zip-lock plastic containing white crystals believed to be methamphetamine, along with smoking apparatus and a digital scale.

The man remains in custody while the seized substances are sent for analysis.

Drug operations are continuing across the country, with members of the public urged to report suspicious activity or provide information by calling 1681.
