A 25-year-old man who is alleged to have breached the Lautoka lockdown conditions on Friday has been charged and will be produced at the Nasinu Magistrates Court tomorrow.

He was arrested in Caubati.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the continuous breaches of the restrictions are a serious concern because of the threats and risks involved and needs to stop.

He says the country is dealing with an invisible threat that can only be effectively destroyed if everyone works together to stop its spread by adhering to the movement restrictions placed on the Lautoka area as well as complying with the Ministry of Health and Service’s advice with regards to self-isolation.

He adds they have processing teams all over the five Divisions who will handle these cases as they are received and they acknowledge the support of members of the public who have been forthcoming with information about the suspected breaches in their communities.
