Quick Police Response Leads to Arrest in Alleged Robbery Case

A swift response by officers in the Southern Division resulted in the arrest of a 19-year-old man for an alleged robbery.

On the afternoon of February 17, 2025, a report was received at the Colo-i-Suva Community Post, alleging that the suspect had robbed a woman of her phone and personal belongings.

The officer on duty immediately called for backup, and officers from the Nasinu Police Station, along with the Police Dog Unit, were deployed to assist.

They were able to track the phone using the victim's partner's mobile device.

The team proceeded to Valelevu, where they arrested the suspect and recovered the victim's phone and personal items.

The 19-year-old was formally charged with one count of robbery and appeared at the Nasinu Magistrates Court yesterday.

He has been remanded in custody until his next court appearance on February 26, 2025.
