A Tongan man was charged with possession and selling of illegal drugs following a police raid at the village of Tofoa last Friday.
According to police, the man whose name was not released, was taken into custody and is due to appear in court.
Police found and seized raw materials from which they believe drugs were made.
They also investigated if an amount of money collected during the raid was linked to the drug deals.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
