Police have praised the action of eight students who assisted a taxi driver after he was allegedly robbed in Muanikoso earlier this month.

Mikaele and Anare Rawaiduvu, Jio Sorovakatini, Semesa and Navuda Vuadreu, Mesake Rabakewa, Manoa Elder and Sikeli Vuadreu apprehended two juveniles for allegedly robbing a taxi driver at the Vatudina Road roundabout in Muanikoso.

The two juveniles have since been charged and produced in court.

Police say the students were playing touch rugby when the driver approached them for help.

The students did not hesitate and chased the two suspects and apprehended them in Nepani before handing them over to Nasinu Police.

They say it was the right thing to do, to help someone who needed help.
