Two juveniles charged with sacrilege to appear in Nasinu Court

Two juveniles, aged 15 and 17, will appear in the Nasinu Magistrates Court today after being charged in relation to an alleged sacrilege incident in Newtown earlier this week.

Police allege the pair stole assorted items, including electrical appliances, rugs and gas burners. The items were later recovered during a raid in Valelevu.

Both juveniles have been charged with one count of sacrilege.

Police have again reminded parents and guardians to closely supervise their children during the school holidays, urging them to be mindful of how young people spend their time and who they associate with.

Officials say constructive engagement and guidance can help prevent children from ending up on the wrong side of the law and ensure a safe, incident-free holiday period.
