Tacirua East residents raise robbery concerns after 6 homes hit in 2 days

Concerns are being raised by Tacirua East residents after six homes were broken into in the last two days.

They say when they called the Police, it took them quite some time to get there, not because of the shortage of vehicles but because there was no one working at that time that could drive.

While a detective was still taking down the details from a house that had been broken into, they received a call that another house had just been broken into.

Residents say they see a lot of teenagers loitering on the streets at all hours into the morning.

A resident whose house was broken into last night along Niuvula Road says officers that came to dust for fingerprints today confirmed another three break ins today.

fijivillage News also raised the issue two years ago of there being no street lights in that area so people who get off the bus along Khalsa Road have to walk home in the dark.

Residents in the area two years ago were asking why no street lights have been installed by the Fiji Roads Authority and how are the authorities planning subdivisions without having these basic services.

They say poles have been allocated in their area however installment of lights has not been carried out which increases safety risks for the residents.

They are also questioning whether the FRA will start acting when people are attacked or robbed.

While responding to our questions two years ago, FRA says they are committed to implementing a plan that will enhance visibility and safety along Tacirua East Road.

Since then, nothing has been done.

We have reached out to the Police and Nasinu Town Council and are awaiting their replies.
