Family members and neighbours gave chase however the suspects managed to escape with the stolen items.

Police say a team from the Valelevu Police Station responded to the call and managed to arrest one of the suspects in Newtown.

In another case, a man was taken into custody for his alleged involvement in an attempted robbery in Caubati.

Police say the owner of the home saw the suspect trying to remove louvre blades and rang the Police Command and Control Centre.

A team from Valelevu and K9 Unit were deployed and the man was arrested shortly afterwards.

Meanwhile, Police are still searching for two men who allegedly stole assorted items from a Kava Shop in Navo, Nadi.
