The Southern Division police task force has arrested five men in their twenties in connection with an aggravated robbery that took place last month in Cunningham, Suva. According to the police, the suspects allegedly hired the victim’s carrier vehicle from Laucala Beach to transport hardware supplies around noon on the day of the incident.
Upon arrival at their destination, one of the suspects told the victim he needed to collect the fare from a different location. It was during this time that the suspects fled, prompting the victim to search for them on foot. Unfortunately, the suspects returned, assaulted the victim, and stole his truck, which was discovered abandoned later at Cunningham Stage 2.
The task force and the Criminal Investigations Department operated tirelessly to track down and apprehend all five individuals. They are currently being interrogated at the Nabua Police Station as investigations are ongoing.
This incident sheds light on the persistent issues of crime and vehicle thefts in the area. However, the quick response from law enforcement is commendable and highlights the importance of Community vigilance. The coordinated efforts of the police not only resulted in the rapid capture of the suspects but also serve as a reassurance to community members regarding their safety.
As these investigations develop, there is hope that continued collaboration between law enforcement and the public can effectively deter criminal behavior, fostering a safer environment for all residents.
