Police have managed to charge and produce a man in court who was involved in a case of burglary in Bau Street, Flagstaff in Suva, which became viral on social media from 18th March this year.

The report was received from the family living on Bau Street, after they woke up to find they had become victims of a burglary, where a significant amount of their belongings were stolen.

Police say through the gathering of information by the Criminal Investigations Department, operations and Intelligence teams, a raid was conducted at the accused’s home in Saivou in Ra where they arrested the 34 year old alleged to have been involved.

He has been charged with one count of burglary and one count of theft.

The man appeared in the Suva Magistrates Court yesterday.

The joint investigation team managed to also recover several items alleged to have been stolen worth approximately $1,500.

He has been remanded in custody at the Totogo Police Station due to other pending investigations.
