A suspended Lance Corporal appeared at the Mu’a Magistrate’s Court on October 9 for theft of bottles of liquor which were kept as police exhibits.

Paula Falevai (45) has pleaded not guilty to one count of theft of allegedly stealing five bottles of liquor valued at $250 pa'anga in total on December 9, 2012. The items were police exhibits kept at the Vaini Police station where he worked.
