Eight people were arrested last night for breach of COVID-19 restrictions with four of them allegedly found drunk between 10pm last night to 5am this morning.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says alcohol continues to be linked to breach of curfew arrests.

Qiliho says the Southern Division recorded five reports of which two men were allegedly found drunk along Rewa Street, one man was found drunk at the Tuirara road-block in Makoi and the two others were arrested in Lami and Nasinu moving around for no valid reason.

He says the lone case in the Northern Division involves a 22 year old student who was allegedly found drunk in Delailabasa.

The Eastern and Central Divisions recorded a case each where both men were found loitering during curfew hours.

There were no cases in the Western Division.
