Allegations involving theft and sexual assault have surfaced concerning three crew members from Virgin Australia, who are currently staying at a hotel in Nadi. Acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew confirmed that the incidents allegedly took place during a night out early this morning.
The crew members have been placed in isolation and are being kept in their hotel rooms at Hotel Tanoa. According to reports from 7News Australia, a management team from Virgin is expected to arrive in Nadi tomorrow to carry out their own investigation into the matter. The families of the crew members are also traveling to Fiji in light of the ongoing situation.
Commissioner Chew stated, “We confirm police are investigating the Australian airline crew case as they were victims of theft and of allegations of rape after clubbing.” He emphasized that law enforcement is dedicated to ensuring a safe environment for both Fijians and visitors during this festive season, urging citizens to look out for one another.
While this incident is deeply concerning, it serves as a reminder of the importance of safety and vigilance for all travelers, especially during busy holiday periods. The ongoing police investigation and involvement of the airline’s management highlight a commitment to addressing the situation responsibly.
In a time when safety is paramount, it is crucial for communities and visitors alike to remain alert and supportive of one another.
