K9 Quill search successful

K9 Quill was out on foot patrol with the Western Division K9 Training Team last week in Lautoka when they noticed a 23-year old man acting in a suspicious manner.

A search was conducted whereby a mobile phone and other items believed to have been stolen were found in his possession.

Investigators have since linked the stolen items to a case of theft from Ba reported on the 21st of November.

He was charged with one count of burglary, one count of theft, and one count of breach of bail for the case from Ba.

In addition to the Ba case, he was also charged with three counts of theft, one count of burglary and one count of breach of bail for another case of theft in the Lautoka area, as other items allegedly stolen from another case of theft in Lautoka were also found in his possession.

Close to $2000 worth of stolen items were recovered from the accused.
