19-year-old remanded for alleged robbery case

The 19-year-old man, who allegedly robbed a woman of her phone and personal belongings on Monday, has been remanded by the Nasinu Magistrates Court.

The man is charged with one count of robbery.

Police say a report of the alleged incident was received at the Colo-i-Suva Community Post, and the officer on duty called for backup, whereby officers from the Nasinu Police Station and Police Dog Unit were deployed to assist.

The team tracked the phone via the victim's partner's mobile device.

They say the team proceeded to Valelevu, where they arrested the accused and recovered the victim's phone and personal items.

The case has been adjourned to next Wednesday.
