Police seized 3,894 cannabis plants from six bush allotments at Matahau and Fou'i on 4 May 2017 and arrested eight men. Four were sentenced on 7 June 2018. It appears to have been larger than the Vava'u bust that media later called Tonga's biggest.[1][2]
Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Tonga here.
