Police have arrested three people in Gnaviyani atoll Fuvahmulah who had been found with a large cache of drugs and money, Sunday night.

Fuvahmulah Police Station’s Station Inspector Abdulla Naseer said that the three had been arrested along with their loot and drugs after a three-day-long special operation.

“We arrested two local men and a Gaafu Dhaalu atoll Thinadhoo resident from a house that we suspected was being used for drug dealing,” he said. “We found a huge hoard of local and foreign currency along with the drug cache in the house. We also found some of the paraphernalia used in the abuse of drugs.”

More than Rf 60,000, some US Dollars and 46,000 Japanese Yen had been found in the house, Police said. Two of those that had been arrested were 24 years old and the other was 19 year old. Police did not reveal the identities of the three but said that one of them had been brought in for questioning previously for a drug offence.

“His case was being prepared to be sent to Court when we arrested him again,” Naseer said.

Police said that they had also found a box cutter on one of the three.

“This is the first time that such a large amount of drug money and drugs were confiscated in this island,” Naseer said. “We are still investigating the case.”
