Fiji - Police believe marijuana farmers are stashing large sums of cash in the bush. The reaction comes in the wake of the discovery of large sums of money hidden in bushland in Navosa recently.
"Marijuana farmers are doing that because our net around all outlets have tightened up," said police public relations officer, Sergeant Atunaisa Sokomuri last night.
"The Drugs Unit is also working very closely with the Transnational Crime Unit. It means unusually large sums of money deposited into an account is referred to police," he said.
"The bottom line is that most of them are simple farmers and they realise having a large sum of money in their account is going to raise eye-brows which is probably the reason they are starting to hide cash in the bush."
Police recovered a plastic bag of close to $2000 in cash stashed away in bushland in the highlands of Navosa on Monday last week.
This follows the discovery of a plastic bag that carried $24,000 a few weeks ago.
