Customs Find Gun and Marijuana in Vehicle

17296331

A weapon and drugs were found by customs officers and canine agents during a search of a vehicle that was imported by a local resident.

Confirming the find, Chief of Customs Moetului Fuiava said the vehicle was consigned to an individual and the contraband was discovered when customs carried out a search of the vehicle.

Moetului said they began searching all vehicle imports when he came on board because he suspected that this is how weapons and drugs were making their way into the territory.

The customs chief has decided to release the vehicle to the owner while he has confiscated the weapons and a canister of marijuana, that was found inside.

Moetului says the gun and drugs are in his custody while they conduct an internal investigation.

It appears that police are not involved in this case at this stage.
