It has been confirmed by police that there were two more cases of white powder being found at the Nadi and the Nausori Airports last year, similar to the one that was found at the yard of a shipping company in Suva on Wednesday afternoon.

Assistant Spokesperson Sergeant Suliano Tevita had revealed this morning that two passengers returning from abroad were arrested at the Nadi and Nausori Airports after the discovery of the powder.

He said investigations into these two cases are still continuing.

According to him, the five arrested on Wednesday afternoon remain in the custody of the Drug Unit as the white powder namely Contact-NT which is used to manufacture drugs like Cocaine and heroin, has been sent for further tests.

Police are now trying to establish whether the three cases are linked.
