12 breach of curfew arrests

12 arrests were made in the last 24 hours for breach of curfew.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the Western Division recorded four cases while South recorded eight cases.

He says there were no cases recorded in the remaining three divisions.

Qiliho says while the reduction in numbers and the zero number of cases recorded in three other divisions is commendable, they know that the number can be reduced further.

The Police Commissioner says trends have shown that at the beginning of the week the number of arrests is usually low and as we head towards the end of the week and into the weekend, numbers spike again and the arrests can be avoided if people adhere to the nation-wide curfew hours from 10pm to 5am.
