A staff member from the Criminal Registry at Lautoka High Court has been charged in connection with a burglary that occurred at the court earlier this month. The 31-year-old man faces a charge of conspiracy to commit burglary, with allegations indicating that he intended to steal cash and several court exhibits from the premises.
The accused made his court appearance today and has been remanded to the Natabua Remand Centre while awaiting a bail hearing. Meanwhile, police continue to investigate the incident, with a particular focus on identifying other individuals believed to have been involved, whose identities are already known to law enforcement agencies.
This burglary, which took place on December 1, 2025, highlights significant concerns regarding the security protocols at key judicial facilities. As the investigation progresses, there is hope that authorities will implement stronger measures to protect these vital institutions and maintain the integrity of the judicial system.
