Three people were arrested while drinking alcohol at Suva Point while a 25-year-old taxi driver and a 32-year-old man are arrested after swimming across a creek from Omkar in Narere to Nakasi.

Three men in their 20’s from different households were found drinking kava in Ra.

Acting Police Commissioner, Rusiate Tudravu says alcohol and drinking kava continues to be linked to breach of health restrictions and curfew orders as six of the eight cases recorded over the last 24 hours were found drunk.

Tudravu says members of the public are advised to refrain from social gatherings and unnecessary movement as Police will arrest those that breach the condition.
