A Police officer was arrested yesterday for playing volleyball with three others in Veisari.

12 people were arrested for playing touch rugby at Lagilagi Housing in Jittu Estate and at the Lady Narain roundabout in Tamavua.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says there were also 16 arrests for curfew breaches.

The Western Division recorded 5 while the Southern Division recorded 11 for curfew breaches.

Qiliho says they commend those who have been listening and adhering to the advisories and they hope that the weekend will not see a spike in the number of arrests of curfew breach as people move around with the intentions of gathering for social purposes.
