A 24 year old man alleged to have stolen a vehicle from Suva yesterday is in police custody following a raid conducted by a joint taskforce.

Chief Operations Officer ACP Abdul Khan says the man from Mokani was arrested this morning while the stolen vehicle was found in Raiwai.

As investigations continue, ACP Khan said opportunistic crimes tend to increase during the festive season.

He adds the Divisional Taskforce teams are on alert noting the usual criminal trends during the months of December to January.
