Police have commended two men for their brave actions to apprehend offenders in separate incidents over the weekend in the Western Division.
Divisional Police Commander West, Senior Superintendent of Police Marika Kotoisuva says that on Christmas Day a local pilot got off a taxi at Navakai in Nadi when an unknown person grabbed his bag.
A man saw the incident from a few meters away and apprehended the suspect and called the Police.
In another incident a 54-year-old man who allegedly assaulted his wife was apprehended by another person and took him to the Nadi Police Station in a taxi.
The woman was rushed to the Nadi Hospital where she was later transferred to the Lautoka Hospital.
She is still admitted at the hospital.
SSP Kotoisuva says the Fiji Police Force aims to improve police services in 2017.
He hopes that the partnership with members of the public will continue as this will assist in keeping the country safe and crime free for everyone.
