Illegal Activities

Collaborating with stakeholders for the safety and security of the capital city is a key priority for the Divisional Police Commander Central Superintendent of Police (SP) Farasiko Matawalu.

The DPC Central says Police are working closely with the Chief Executive Officer of the Suva City Council Mr Azam Khan following concerns raised of illegal activities carried out by vendors within the Suva market area.

Yesterday, officers from the Fiji Detector Dog Unit and Police K9 were deployed around the said area following reports received of the sale of white and green drugs.

A suspect who sells juice near the bean cart area was arrested and taken into custody following positive findings of alleged illicit substances.

SP Matawalu said tough measures will be taken on those involved, and commended the support of the SCC CEO who confirmed that the licenses of anyone involved in illegal activities within the market, bus terminal and carrier stand areas in Suva will be revoked.

The Divisional Police Commander Central says they are working hard on strengthening crime prevention efforts in the capital city with key stakeholders in both the private and public sector, for the safety of the general public.
