Tudravu says eight men were arrested for drinking liquor in Caubati and face possible additional charges for resisting arrest.

Four men were arrested along Gaji Road, Raiwaqa as they were drunk in public during curfew hours.

Two men were arrested in Narere and Valelevu as they were found in public during curfew hours without a valid reason.

A 19-year-old was arrested drunk along Tovata Road in Nasinu during curfew hours.

The lone arrest made in the Central Division involved a 39-year old man who was moving around in public during curfew hours.
