Search Continues

Valelevu Police are expected to continue search efforts for a 4-year-old child who was swept away whilst trying to cross a flooded creek with a relative last night.

The incident occurred in Sakoca at around 6pm.

The victim was trying to cross the flooded creek from Sakoca to Naivurevure Ni Cagi with a relative when he was swept away by the strong current.

Search efforts were initiated last night but was called off due to darkness, and continues this morning.

We again urge parents and guardians, to place greater emphasis on their child's safety, and avoid placing them in situations that would endanger their lives.
