Around 8:20 a convoy of DPS units was seen heading from Vaitogi/Iliili towards the Tafuna substation.

Seven individuals are understood to have been taken in for questioning at the substation.

KHJ News saw officers of the Vice and Narcotics Division carrying rifles and what looked like containers or jars with cash from police vehicles into the substation.

A drug sniffing canine was seen being let out of a cage that was at the back of an SUV among the DPS vehicles which were in the convoy.
