Two Labasa cops arrested for breaching curfew were allegedly drunk and driving around in private vehicle

The two police officers based at the Labasa Police Station who have been arrested for breaching the 10pm to 5am curfew today were allegedly drunk and driving around in a private vehicle.

They have been arrested alongside 58 people in other divisions across the country.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the officers will also face internal disciplinary measures.

28 people were arrested in the Southern Division, 26 were arrested in the Western Division and there were 4 arrests in the Eastern Division and two in the North.

The Police Commissioner has also issued a directive that any officer who is found breaching the measures and restrictions announced by the Prime Minister will be removed from the institution.

He says this will include anyone responsible for social gatherings at Police premises including barracks.

Qiliho says at a time where they are calling for support towards COVID-19, he will not allow Police officers to take advantage of their affiliation to the Fiji Police Force where they think they can abuse their powers during the current situation.
