Two men have been remanded in custody in Fiji after being charged in relation to the discovery of a cache of bullets nine days ago.
The owner of a Lautoka pharmacy Aiyaz Mohammed Mussa Umarji and his manager Naushad Ali appeared in the Lautoka Magistrates Court yesterday charged with being in possession of arms and ammunition without a license.
It was alleged they were in possession of 179 live M16 centrefire cartridges on 1 January.
FBC reports the pair were denied bail and would reappear in court on 23 January.
The bullets were discovered on a yacht at a marina near Lautoka in Fiji's west which police earlier confirmed belongs to the owner of the pharmacy.
The parmacy was raided by police last week.
Fiji Village reported two other people were in police custody and were being questioned in relation to the case.
