The local FBI office just announced a major meth bust that wrapped up early this morning. FBI and HPD arrested four individuals on meth possession/dealing charges.

 “The evening culminated in a massive seizure of approximately seven pounds of meth,” said FBI spokesman Tom Simon.

The four arrested were Faataoto Vaieli Mauga, Tapusilia Suliasi Vaifale, Mayday Pakele, and Colonel Pakele. Colonel and Mayday were caught making selling drugs in Kahaluu out of a van, according to a federal indictment. All four suspects remain in custody.
