No arrests made three months after major marijuana farm discovery

Police have confirmed that no arrests have been made three months after the discovery of a major cannabis (marijuana) farm in the Northern Division.

Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro said investigations were continuing, while enforcement operations, including drone surveillance, had been intensified in known cultivation areas.

She said drones had played a key role in locating illicit farms and supporting operational efforts on the ground.

"Drones have always been used to comb areas known for cultivation, and this has significantly assisted operational efforts," Ms Naisoro said.

The Operation Sasamaki team in the Northern Division seized more than 7,000 green plants believed to be marijuana during a raid in Vusasivo, Natewa, earlier this week.

The raid was carried out in the Qaranibali farming area after the farm was detected through aerial drone surveillance.

Police said the seized plants included crops measuring more than four metres in height.

The plants have been taken for analysis as investigations continue.

Despite the scale of the seizure, no arrests have been made to date.
