A truancy team has been set up by Central Division Police to minimize the number of students found in billiard shops and internet cafes during and after school hours.

The team is made up of officers who will be patrolling streets particularly during and after school hours.

Any student caught will be taken to the Police Station where further enquiries will be done with schools and their parents.

A meeting has also been conducted between the Suva City Council and Police whereby internet shops operating within the Central Business District have been informed of this problem.

A reminder has also been issued to the internet shop owners of the need to adhere to the provisions of their licenses and operate within the allocated hours.
