As concerns continue to be raised on the daring robberies in the western division and no arrests made by Police so far, Divisional Police Commander West, Senior Superintendent of Police Iakobo Vaisewa confirms that the team is still trying to locate the three men involved in the aggravated robberies in Nadi and Ba last Thursday.

While speaking to fijivillage News, SSP Vaisewa says they have gathered some information about the men and are now trying to locate them.

He says no one is in custody yet.

When asked why the information was not disseminated on the official Fiji Police Force page when the robberies took place, SSP Vaisewa says this was not to jeopardise their actions.

People also raised serious concerns after the video emerged on social media where the three men stormed into Total Energies Service Station in Nadi Town on Thursday morning.

The video shows a man getting out of a private vehicle with a knife in his hand, jumping over the counter to scare the cashier and fleeing the scene with cash.

Meanwhile, another man is seen at the entrance trying to stop the employee from closing the door.

It is also alleged that they also robbed a mini-mart in Martintar, Nadi and a house in Ba.
