A man has been arrested following the seizure of 3.5 kilograms of methamphetamine by police in Lapaha.
The 41-year-old man has been charged with possession of illicit drugs.
He is remanded in custody, the Police said.
The police expressed gratitude to the community for their contributions through reports, which helped them apprehend the suspect.
“It is through this cooperative effort that together we can defeat the scourge that all types of drugs bring to our communities across the kingdom”, a statement said.
It follows an arrest in 2022 when Police arrested two 20-year-old men, one at Lapaha and the other at Ngele’ia, for breaching curfew. Each had a pack of cannabis in their possession, for which they have been criminally charged.
Police urged the public to report any suspicious activity that might lead to drug-related incidents.
They emphasized the importance of community vigilance in keeping neighbourhoods safe and encouraged residents to share any information that could help combat drug-related crime.
