Police continue to have no leads in their search for the five fishermen who have been missing at sea since New Year's eve.
Police spokesperson, Atunaisa Sokomuri says they resumed their search for the five men this morning but there continue to be no major findings.
Sokomuri says police are once again requesting the help of the community to help find these missing people.
Family members of the five fishermen are also conducting their own search operation.
The Fiji Police Force will only call off their search for the five fishermen missing at sea when they have exhausted all avenues and resources to find them.
The Acting Commissioner is the only person that can give the approval to call off the search operation.
Police say there has been no recommendation made at this stage to call off the search.
Currently missing at sea is 34‑year‑old Nigel Nischal Mani and 34‑year‑old Rajneel Rajnesh Reddy who went on a fishing trip to the Vatu‑i‑Ra passage last Thursday.
Also missing at sea is Nakasi resident, Yakub Khan also known as Sonny.
50‑year‑old Khan was on a fishing trip with two others last Friday when their boat capsized.
Two of the men managed to save their lives by swimming ashore while Khan is yet to be found.
Police have also confirmed that 49‑year‑old Rajeshwar Naidu and 45‑year‑old Edward Lavish from Karavi, Ba are still missing at sea.
The two were on board a red 27 feet half cabin boat named JADE and were fishing off Yadua Island.
