Police urging all Fijians to prioritise their safety and security this busy weekend

Fiji Police Force is calling on all Fijians to prioritise their safety and security as we head into a busy weekend.

Assistant Commissioner of Police – Operations, Livai Driu says their operational focus will shift to major cities and towns in anticipation of the festivals and increased movement and gathering of people.

ACP Driu says opportunists will take advantage of the atmosphere by indulging in car break-ins, pick-pockets and theft of personal property such as bags, wallets, purses and mobile phones are likely targets.

He says people need to be vigilant about their safety and security.

ACP Driu is also reminding home owners to take necessary measures to safeguard their properties during all hours of the day as opportunists will strike when they see an opening and a chance to steal or enter a property when they see it left unsecured.
