Market Fight

Police say the Salelologa council is expected to do the same.

Talamua online reports about forty police from Apia were dispatched to Savaii on Monday in response to the brawl, roadblocks and vandalism at the Salelologa market.

A family home at Saletagaloa, between the two villages, was also burned down in the unrest.

Talamua reported people believed the violence might have been related to an earlier incident involving drugs.

Some of the police contingent including the Police Commissioner who went to Savaii on Monday returned to Apia yesterday.

Police have sent personnel from Apia to Savaii after a brawl between Salelologa and Salelavalu village youth and the destruction of property at Salelologa market.

A police spokesperson said they were also looking into a new video posted on Facebook showing a young man from Salelologa being questioned by youths of Salelavalu with a gun pointing at his face.

The media officer said the video from yesterday's rampage at the market which was posted on social media is also being investigated.
