The Samoa Police, Prisons, and Corrections Services carried out a search warrant at Faleatiu village following concerns raised by the village regarding ongoing issues involving narcotics.
The search was successful and resulted in the seizure of 5,000 marijuana plants, marijuana seeds, unregistered firearms, and the arrest of five suspects. It is estimated that the street value of the plants seized by SPPCS is worth $250,000 tala.
The SPPCS will continue to combat drug-related activities in Samoa, as their use can have severe medical and criminal consequences. SPPCS encourages the public to come forward with any information about drug-related activities within your community and to inform the police immediately, or to contact our office or a nearby station at the telephone number #22222.
We convey our sincerest gratitude to the public for your ongoing assistance and continuous support in ensuring safety for all.
Working for a safer Samoa.
