Police steals drugs. How embarrassing!
An exhibit kept in the drug unit of the Criminal Investigations Department was among one of the items stolen from CID headquarters earlier this month. Millions of dollars worth of, what is said to be cocaine was stolen. This happened earlier last month. More recently, two police officers are being questioned because large quantities of marijuana have gone missing from Nabua Police Station where the drug was being held as exhibits for court cases.
Two cases of drugs going missing right under polices nose. This is a very
bad reflection on the Police Department. Is it because the police think that
nothing would go missing for the police station itself? Perhaps, what is the more
embarrassing is that in both cases, the police seem to have been responsible.
How dependable does this make the police department in handling drug cases? Granted that there have only been two situations in recent history but both happen in quick succession.
Who is to say that it would not happen again in future? The police should have more security when it comes to keeping drugs from being stolen.
Could this also mean that there is a serious case of
corruption in the department? Or, as
weird as it may sound, but could there be some huge drug cartel involved?
Fiji has not been unknown when in comes to producing and exporting drugs. Being the hub of the Pacific region, a lot of drugs have been caught here. A few years ago, crystal methamphetamine production was full under way. Luckily the police were able to bust the operation. But what my point here is that these Asian Mafias know Fiji as a potential.
I’m just thinking out loud here.
What could have motivated these police officers to do such a crime? Some money, maybe? Now the police department is not completely incompetent. So if they are caught, they would be duly punished for the crime. Why would they do it if they do not have ‘light’ at the end of the tunnel? An incentive of sorts.
Once again, I’m only thinking out loud here.
How plausible is it that a few police officers were influenced to steal drugs?
It could also be possible that these officers saw a market and acted on it. There is thousands of dollars worth of drugs (marijuana and cocaine) right in front of you and you need money. Who would notice if a few bags go missing?
The situation has given some unwanted publicity to the police department. It would be interesting to see how it will be handled.

Fiji police spokeswoman Ana Naisoro said the latest finding had led to Police Commissioner Brigadier General Ioane Naivalurua giving a directive for the immediate recovery and arrest of those involved.
