TWO brothers are being hunted by Western province police on suspicion that they are peddling marijuana around town in Daru.
Police were informed that they recently harvested a number of marijuana plants from their food garden, dried the leaves and packed them for sale in the streets.
Last Jan 25, police raided their food garden and discovered that the plants had already been harvested.
South Fly provincial police commander Inspector John Kerry said some of the marijuana plants, which will be ready for harvest in the next two to three weeks, were uprooted from
their flower pots.
Mr Kerry said police were monitoring the family home since two members of the family – the sons – had fled just as when the raid was to be carried out.
In a separate drug bust on Jan 24 and 25 at Daru airport, police confiscated 41 rolls of the illicit drug packed in a carton.
It arrived on a flight from Port Moresby.
Mr Kerry said that the drugs were rolled in aluminum foils and packed in a box.
It was believed the dealer was in Port Moresby and may had been sending the drugs to the province for sale on the streets by his pushers.
The airport drug bust netted a suspect who is now in police custody, according to Mr Kerry.
He said police were yet to finish interrogating the man.
