Yachts under surveillance
The discovery of millions of dollars worth of cocaine washed up on the shores of some islands in the Lau Group has alerted Police and Customs officers to a big illicit drug transit ring.
The Roko Tui (provincial administrators) are working closely with Police to monitor the movement of yachts in the area. Over the past few weeks a number of yachts have been found in Lau waters.

Some of these yachts apparently do not have proper clearance documents. In fact, one yacht crew went ashore on one island.
Their documents clearly showed they had not been cleared by Customs and Immigration. Through the collaborative efforts of the villagers, provincial officers and Police, the net is closing in on those who might be responsible.
