Six men and a woman have been arrested for drug-related offences in Tonga.
The Police Drugs Enforcement Taskforce also confiscated two unlicensed firearms, including a .22 long rifle and an air operated long rifle, 4.56 grams of cannabis and drug utensils.
The arrests were made at different locations including Ha‘ateiho, Puke, Mataika and Houmakelikao in Tongatapu between 18 – 21 May.
Criminal charges for illicit drugs and firearms have been laid and all seven accused will appear in court at a later date.
