Police in Samoa have netted a marijuana haul worth $US15,000.

The haul was the result of a raid on a house at Nu'u Fou after a tip off by a member of the public.

Police Commissioner Fuiavailili Egon Keil told the Samoa Observer the house had been used as a storage and distribution point for drugs from another village.

He said apart from the drugs, the raid also netted a vehicle and cellphones.

Four suspects, three males and a female, were arrested and charged with possession and distribution of marijuana.
