Senior Constable Perry Kageni of the Special Services Division (SSD) said the suspects were seen in possession of 24.5 kilograms of the illicit drug marijuana in a suspected taxi at 7.45am on Monday at the Nine-Mile Plaza outside Port Moresby.
“The drugs in various size bags were confiscated after police officers got a tip-off from an informant who saw the movement of the suspects as suspicious,” Constable Kageni said, adding that this was confirmed when the police officers checked the cab.
