Land Transport Authority Acting CEO Aptinko Vaurasi says they will take strong disciplinary action against any taxi driver who knowingly assists anyone smuggling illegal items into prisons.
Vaurasi says this is because of the growing concern of taxi drivers or their passengers using taxis for illegal activities.
He says the process of this illegal activity includes the illegal items being thrown from the taxi over the prison fence and the taxi then speeds away minimising the chance of arrest for those responsible.
Vaurasi adds this is a serious matter and the item could be food or some sort of weapon or even drugs.
He says PSV permit holders and drivers must remember that LTA have issued permits to them for the sole purpose of providing safe and legal public transport service to people.
Vaurasi says those breaking the law will be dealt with harshly as they are working with the Police and Fiji Corrections Service to charge those involved in this criminal act.
