Tonga police have arrested a man they suspect was responsible for the stealing of three civil defence sirens from Kolovai last month.
The 25-year-old accused was arrested in Lapaha on Friday night September 15, a police spokesperson told Kaniva News.
The accused was believed to have been a member of a group of workers from Lapaha who did maintenance road works in Kolovai.
Police had retrieved one of the three sirens and they were still searching for the remaining two.
The sirens were installed by the National Emergency Management Office.

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.
