Lae metropolitan superintendent, Anthony Wagambie Jnr, has issued a warning to individuals who have been supporting criminal activities.
“Those supporting criminal activities through the use of vehicles/boats or other logistics and funding, the law will catch up with you,” he said in a statement.
“Police investigators are working around the clock.”
Wagambie Jnr says they have gained insight on how these gangs have been operating.
“We are getting closer and these people who have been supporting them, if there is enough evidence, will be arrested and charged.”
Meanwhile, police are monitoring activities within Lae City after experiencing a spate of robberies.
“There have been random roadblocks set up to check on occupants of vehicles and suspicious vehicles,” said Wagambie Jnr.
“I ask for cooperation from the general public when being approached by police at roadblocks. This is to ensure the safety of the general public.”
He said they have seen a decrease in robberies since the commencement of the special operations.
