Two suspended police officers, Keperieli Ketewai and Luke Tavaialu have been given custodial sentences for aggravated robbery.
Ketewai has been sentenced to 8 years imprisonment with a non-parole period of 5 years while Tavaialu has been sentenced to 7 years with a non-parole period of 4 years.
The duo with Josaia Warodo on the 4th of April last year, robbed $1,530 worth of properties from a businessman in Kadavu.
Warodo had pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced earlier.
Judge, Justice Aruna Aluthge says the offence the two committed whilst being in the Fiji Police Force should be denounced and adequately punish.
Justice Aluthge says the courts have a duty to deter this kind of anti-social behaviour using violence on innocent members of the public and to safeguard their property rights.
