One was at a shop at Kolofo'ou, and the shop owner was threatened with a
knife. A mobile phone was taken as well as nearly 500 Pa'anga.
On Thursday as the Opening of Parliament was underway, a guest house in
Umusi was targeted, but neighbours alerted police who caught the thieves.
And two mats and a tapa were stolen from the Free Wesleyan Church at
Te'ekiu, but the property was returned when arrests were made.
