A 24-year-old student was arrested from Nadiri settlement in Valelevu last night for allegedly assaulting a police officer and breaching curfew.

Acting Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu says the eight arrests made in the Southern Division were recorded in Lami and Valelevu.

Tudravu says six men were arrested in Lami Town as they were found all drunk during curfew hours.

He says the arrests recorded in the Eastern Division were made in Nausori and Nakasi where three were found drunk and walking along the Kings Highway looking for a taxi.

Tudravu says a drunk man in his 30s was arrested at the Rewa Bridge roadblock.

He says three drunk men were arrested standing near a shop in Drasa, Lautoka while a farmer was found drunk in Sigatoka town.

The Acting Police Commissioner says the Western Division recorded 10 arrests which were made in Lautoka, Tavua and Namaka.

Nine out of the 10 arrests involved those who were heavily intoxicated during their time of the arrest.

He says there were 23 arrests made between 11 o'clock last night to 4 o'clock this morning.

27 breaches of curfew arrests were recorded in the last 48 hours.
