Two men have been questioned for their alleged involvement in two cases of sacrilege in the Nadi area last week.

Chief Operations Officer Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police Livai Driu says apart from the focus on arresting those involved, efforts are also being made to strengthen security arrangements at temples and mosques against opportunists.

A/ACP Driu says the Divisional Police Commander West ASP Iakobo Vaisewa and the Western Community Policing team have been conducting meetings and visitations to the management of temples and mosques in the division following the recent cases of sacrilege.

He adds more Police patrols and security coverage by the respective management will be conducted, and similar measures are being adopted in the other four divisions.
