New South Wales Police have issued a public appeal for information regarding the whereabouts of Faitangane Va’enuku, a 24-year-old Tongan man wanted on charges related to assaulting police and resisting arrest.
Authorities have confirmed that a warrant has been issued for Va’enuku’s arrest, and he is believed to frequent the Fairfield area.
Police are urging members of the public, particularly those in the Tongan community, not to approach him if they see him, but to immediately contact Triple Zero (000).
This comes just months after another high-profile incident involving a Tongan national in Sydney’s west.
In May 2024, a 28-year-old Tongan man was at the centre of a major police manhunt after allegedly stabbing two Australian Border Force officers during a failed deportation attempt.
Community Urged to Assist
NSW Police are working closely with community leaders to locate Va’enuku and ensure public safety. Anyone with information is encouraged to come forward.
“If you know where he is, do not take matters into your own hands—call the police immediately,” a spokesperson said.
Further updates will be provided as the investigation continues.
