Burglary Suspect Arrested

A man who thought he could avoid his identity from being known via the CCTV cameras of a Nasinu based supermarket while allegedly stealing items, was arrested at the scene by Police officers.

This morning a report was received after 5am from the supermarket Manager regarding an alleged burglary case which they were viewing via their live CCTV feed.

The person was allegedly seen moving around inside the shop with an umbrella stealing items.

Chief Operations Officer ACP Abdul Khan says a fire call was conducted at the Valelevu Police Station whereby officers residing at the Barracks, and officers on duty were deployed to the supermarket complex.

The officers surrounded the building whereby one officer climbed onto the roof of the adjacent building and noticed where the suspect had allegedly gained entry into the supermarket.

ACP Khan says the suspect after hearing the officers outside allegedly tried to escape through where he had gained access, but was arrested by the officer who was waiting at the same point.

ACP Khan says the suspect is being questioned as investigations continue.
