Ba Police have arrested a teenager who allegedly broke into a computer shop in Nadi last Friday and fled with stolen items in a company vehicle.
Fiji’s Acting Commissioner of Police Rusiate Tudravu said the 18-year-old was now in custody at the Namaka Police Station.
A/CP Tudravu said the young man was arrested at Tauvegavega in Ba yesterday by the Ba Police Crime Team following information they received.
He said the suspect allegedly stole laptops, mobile phones, tablets and other accessories worth more than $40,000 before fleeing in a company vehicle.
“Police managed to recover most of the items stolen along with the vehicle which was found abandoned at Sabeto,” A/CP Tudravu said.
Police have charged the suspect with one count of theft, one count of theft of a motor vehicle, and one count of burglary.
