A staff member from the Criminal Registry at Lautoka High Court has been charged in relation to a burglary that took place at the court earlier this month. The 31-year-old individual has been accused of one count of conspiracy to commit burglary, with allegations suggesting that he planned to steal cash and various court exhibits from the premises.
The accused appeared in court today and has been remanded at the Natabua Remand Centre while awaiting a bail hearing. The police are continuing their investigation into the incident, with efforts focused on identifying additional individuals believed to be involved, whose identities are already known to law enforcement.
This incident, which occurred on December 1, 2025, raises significant concerns regarding the security measures in place at crucial judicial facilities. As the investigation unfolds, it is hoped that authorities will be able to ensure enhanced protections to safeguard such important institutions.
