Two men and a woman who were reported missing at sea yesterday morning, have been found by the Water Police at Laucala Island off Suva next to Nukulau this morning.

Fijivillage has asked Police if the three will also be investigated for allegedly breaching the containment borders as they had left Natovi Jetty in Tailevu at 6am yesterday and did not reach their destination which was Vugalei, Lami.

Police say the details of the incident are sketchy at the moment and officers are still gathering information about what happened.

Police say they received information that the drifting boat was seen near Nukulau Passage towing a yacht.

Water Police was searching for the missing people from about 10.20pm last night.
