Any student who is found to be involved in brawls will be charged if there is sufficient evidence.
This warning has been made by Police Chief Operations Officer ACP Rusiate Tudravu following two brawls this week.
Tudravu says following the first incident on Wednesday afternoon whereby an 18-year-old was charged with assault, officers were sent to the two Suva based schools the following day to conduct awareness and reiterate the concerns about students involved in such incidents.
He says officers were deployed to the Suva bus stand on Friday afternoon to monitor the situation whereby another fight broke out between students of the same school.
Tudravu says two students and a tertiary school student were taken in for questioning and released as investigations continue.
He stresses that parents and guardians are therefore advised to speak to their children about the consequences of getting involved in these brawls as police will not hesitate to lay charges.
