Five properties in Kolonga were broken into between the evening of Sunday March 26 and yesterday Wednesday 5.
Fakaʻosi Maama of the Talaki newspaper said two church missionaries were also allegedly assaulted at the town.
It was not immediately clear whether or not the robbers were linked to the alleged assault.
Maama, who is from Kolonga, said it was a bizarre.
He warned neighbours to watch out for each other.
“If you see any strangers in Kolonga ask why they are coming there”, Maama warned.
We need to stop this odd incidents as fast as possible, he said.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
