Meanwhile, a suspect linked to a separate burglary in Nausori is currently in remand.

Vusonilawe says police received a report of an alleged assault on August 12. The suspect was arrested, charged and produced in court on August 14.

He will be remanded until August 26.

The burglary report was lodged on August 14 while the suspect was being processed for the assault case.

Vusonilawe says police will apply for the suspect to be remanded in police custody to allow investigations into the burglary to continue.

He says divisional operations teams are taking reports of robberies, burglaries and petty crimes seriously.

More targeted operations are planned as Fiji enters the school holiday period and prepares for major events.
