A police officer was arrested last night after being allegedly found drunk on duty.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the officer was arrested after she was stopped at a checkpoint and was discovered to be intoxicated whilst on duty.

Nine people were arrested in the last 24 hours for COVID-19 related breaches.

Qiliho says five juveniles were arrested in the Southern Division which included four youths found loitering along Omkar Road in Narere.

He says another youth was arrested with a 25-year-old playing touch rugby at the Nabua Ground along Sukanaivalu Road while others fled the scene.

Qiliho says the lone case from the Western Division involved a 37-year-old man who was arrested at Saweni Beach in Lautoka while one case in the North involved a 32-year-old man who was found loitering at Nawaca in Bua during curfew hours.
