Two individuals have been arrested in connection with a break-in at the High Court building in Lautoka that occurred over the weekend. Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro confirmed that the two men were taken into custody on Sunday, although it remains unclear whether any items were stolen during the incident.
Police liaison officer for the West, Manasa Tabuakula, stated that investigators were able to identify the suspects using security footage retrieved from the courthouse. CCTV footage showed one of the suspects breaking into the building, prompting an investigation that is still ongoing.
The incident came to light when a senior court officer reported the break-in early on Monday morning, resulting in the suspension of all court cases before the High Court in Lautoka. However, court sessions are expected to resume shortly.
This incident adds to a broader context of rising criminal activity in the Lautoka area, where there has been a notable increase in burglaries and robberies. Police efforts are ramping up to address these security concerns. The community’s vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement can play a crucial role in enhancing public safety moving forward.
As investigations continue, there is hope that not only will this case be resolved swiftly, but the proactive measures being taken by the police will deter future incidents, fostering a safer environment for residents.
