38 arrests were made last night for breach of curfew regulations.

There were no arrests in the Central Division.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the Southern Division which includes Samabula, Tamavua, Tacirua, Nabua and Nasinu, and other areas outside of the Suva Central area recorded 21 arrests.

Most people were found walking around after 10pm for no valid reason.

Qiliho says the Western Division recorded 9 arrests, Eastern Division recorded five arrests and the Northern Division recorded 3 arrests.

He says no juvenile was arrested over the last 24 hour period.

The Commissioner stressed that the nationwide curfew remains from 10pm to 5am and unless it is a medical emergency or someone has a valid reason such as work to be moving around with a signed letter indicating hours of work, people must stay home.

Qiliho says people should plan their time well and if they are at social functions when the clock strikes 10pm, they should be prepared to spend the night at that location as people will only be allowed to move again at 5am, the next morning.
