The Port Director, Matagi Ray McMoore, has written to the Commissioner of Public Safety, Tuaolo Fruean, saying that several months ago, his department purchased a fleet of vehicles and a laptop from an off-island vendor.
He said a member of his staff, Fanene Vitale Sooto, arranged the purchase
However, one of the vehicles is now being used as a family car.
Matagi says he also does not know what has happened to the laptop and has asked the police commissioner to investigate.
