Police have said that equipment suspected to have been used to brew alcohol has been confiscated after being discovered in an abandoned home on the island of Fuvahmulah.
The alleged brewing apparatus and a number of containers thought to have contained alcohol was reported to have been picked up by police. Law enforcement officials claim they have dealt with six individual cases during the year so far relating to alcohol consumption or production, according to Haveeru.
The news report claimed that the equipment and alcohol were found both in an abandoned home and around swamp land across two separate wards on the island.
