Two men were arrested by the police on Monday afternoon in a drug raid conducted at Salelesi.

The raid took place around 4 pm in a continuation of the police’s war on drugs. The police found methamphetamine and smoking apparatus.

The two were taken to the police headquarters in Apia, where charges were laid. The two are being held in custody.

More than 100 individuals have been charged since the police operation began in December. The police are also publishing photographs of people who have been arrested in the raid.

Acting Police Commissioner Leiataua Samuelu Afamasaga told the Samoa Observer earlier on Monday that the raids will continue.

He said it was an uphill battle, but they will carry on the drug raids.

The government has also signed a memorandum of understanding with the New Zealand government to help patrol the borders and provide resources and training in the fight against drugs.

Recently, the Pacific has seen large drug busts of cocaine headed for Australia and New Zealand by using narco-subs.
