Four men have been placed under a strict curfew by the Magistrates Court in Suva, following accusations of running an illegal security operation and entering a school without authorization. They face multiple charges, including criminal trespass and maintaining operations without a valid security license, which violates the Security Industry Act.
While each of the accused was granted bail of $1,000, they must comply with specific conditions, including a curfew from 6 PM to 6 AM, refraining from further offenses, and avoiding interference with witnesses. The court has scheduled the next hearing for September 12.
This case is not isolated; it reflects a broader trend of law enforcement cracking down on unauthorized security activities in Fiji. Recently, police have arrested several individuals involved in similar operations posing as security officials, highlighting the ongoing challenges to public safety, particularly in educational environments.
The proactive measures taken by law enforcement in Suva underscore the importance of community safety and the collective responsibility of citizens and authorities in deterring illegal activities. As investigations continue, there is hope that these interventions will lead to improved safety protocols and foster a vigilant community, reinforcing the trust between law enforcement and the public.
