3 people rescued after boat capsizes

Three people from Vuaki Village, Yasawa were rescued yesterday after their boat capsized during bad weather at the entrance of Lautoka Harbour.

The support and quick action by Don Bruce and his crew of Tavewa Seabus resulted in the successful rescue of these people.

Commending the support through the Duavata Community Policing imitative, Commissioner of Police Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho said the outcome could have been worse if it was not for Bruce’s willingness to assist.

Qiliho says when they are able to work together they can achieve so much more and they are grateful to Bruce and his team who were able to help them as most of their officers were deployed on operations during the periods of flooding yesterday.

The three have since returned to their village.
