Two men and two womenwere arrested and held in police custody.
The police said the kwaso had a street value equivalent to about $US12,000.
Distilling apparatus was also seized during the raid at Lio Ridge in East Honiara.
The police praised members of the public for reporting the illegal activity.
"These illegal substances have already and will continue to affect our youth and cause a lot of anti-social problems within our communities," said Assistant Commissioner Gwen Ratu.
