Woman found with explosives, illicit drugs to face court

A woman in her 30s will be produced at the Suva Magistrates Court today charged with the alleged possession of illicit drugs following a joint raid in Delainavesi.

The accused, who was previously charged with similar drug-related offences, was arrested during a joint operation conducted on February 13, 2026, by officers from the Serious Organised Crime and Intelligence Department (SOCID), the Southern Division Taskforce and the Fiji Detector Dog Unit.

Police said substances found in her vehicle tested positive for methamphetamine.

She faces one count of unlawful possession of illicit drugs, one count of possession of property believed to be proceeds of crime, one count of possession of breaking implements, and one count of unlawful possession of explosives.

Police allege she was also found in possession of a non-lethal device used by defence forces to disorient targets.

The matter will be called in the Suva Magistrates Court today.
