Fisherman's Wharf In The Centre of Apia

Three crew members of two fishing boats docked at the Fisherman’s wharf, were caught by sniffer dogs as they were getting set for a planned fishing trip.
A Samoa Ports Authority, senior security officer, alerted the Police K9 unit, with his supicions about the crew of the fishing boats.                           
The vessels Yellow Fin and Katherine J were reportedly due to set sail for their normal fishing trips at 5pm.
Tofilau Simiti who is a senior security officer for Samoa Ports Authority alerted the K9 unit on suspicion that crew members might be carrying drugs. The K9 Unit then alerted police who called in a police team to help out with the search operation.  

The police search proved successful with 3 defendants being charged with possession of marijuana leaves and are now under police custody to await sentencing.

This is not the first time that SPA staff have been involved in alerting Police.
A recent case involved a man who had tried to sell drugs at the Fisherman’s wharf. He was apprehended by authorities.
