68 people arrested for breaching 10pm-5am curfew

Sixty eight people were arrested last night for breaching the curfew hours from 10pm to 5am daily.

37 people were arrested in the Western Division, 13 in the Southern Division and 18 in the Eastern Division.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the sixty eight had no valid reasons to be out during the curfew hours when officers queried about their movements.

He says these people were arrested and taken into custody.

He says with the high number of arrests made, Police officers had to strictly adhere to protocols and measures to ensure they were also not exposed to any possible health threats as processing teams were on standby to handle the cases as they were brought to the Police Stations.
