Police have arrested a man on Monday in Nukuleka with cash and drugs packed and ready for sale.
The 34-year-old man was taken into custody with 5.1 grams of methamphetamine and 4.41 grams of cannabis.
Police were responding to a domestic complaint where they arrested the suspect from a residence in Nukuleka with the illicit drugs as well as cash.
“Tonga Police are committed to disrupt and detect the supply of drugs thereby preventing the harm it causes to our communities,” says Acting Superintendent Sisi Toutai Tonga.
“It only takes one call to Police to stop crime and the availability of drugs in your community.”
The suspect has been charged with possession of illicit drugs and is in police custody while investigation continues.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
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.
