This apparently appeared today in one of the local papers:
"No arrest for over 290 complaints
It has cost the police department $60,000 to investigate 290 complaints by a Nananu-I-Ra resident, the Public Accounts Committee has found.
The report has not been able to establish whether anyone has been charged over the complaints.
In a report tabled in the Lower House yesterday the committee found the complaints were made to police during the last 13 years by a Mr Wehrenberg.
The complaints include illegal guest house operations, attempted murder, house breaking, arson, assault causing bodily harm, damaging property, criminal trespass, criminal intimidation and larceny.
The report said although the Acting Commissioner of Police, Moses Driver, has assured the committee that his department is ready to deal with any further new complaints from Mr Wehrenberg the Committee believes that if there is to be a full and fair investigation, such investigation should be carried out independently from Suva Police Headquarters, since the involvement of the Rakiraki Police Station and Divisional Police Commander Western SSP Eronio Antonio, the report said.
Mr Driver has assured the committee that he will involve the Trans-National Crimes Unit based in Suva to monitor the situation at Nananu-I-Ra and to undertake fresh investigations in collaboration with the Fiji Islands Revenue and Customs Department."
Ain't that a hoot?
