43 arrests were made for breach of curfew restrictions in the last 24 hours and 14 arrests in the Eastern Division were made at snap checkpoints erected between the Nausori bridge and Sawani.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the majority of 22 cases recorded in the Eastern Division were made in the Waila area in Nausori after officers conducted snap checkpoints between the main two checkpoints.

Qiliho says the Western Division recorded four cases whereby two men were found drunk in sugarcane fields in Ba during curfew hours.

He also says a man was arrested while returning from drinking kava and a 32-year-old man was found loitering in the Viseisei area in Lautoka during curfew hours.

The Southern Division which includes Samabula, Tamavua, Tacirua, Nabua and Nasinu and other areas outside of the Suva Central area recorded twelve cases in total.

Qiliho says six men were arrested as they were found drunk in the Nadera, Vatuwaqa and Cunningham area while a 21-year-old man was found in a vacant house in Nadawa.

Another man in his 20s was arrested for threatening his neighbors at a settlement in Nadera.

The other cases were recorded at the Delainavesi, Muanikoso, and Narere.

Five cases were recorded in the Central Division.

Four people were arrested for loitering and another case involved a 32-year-old man who was found intoxicated along Edinburgh Drive in Suva.
