Police presence to increase in NCD

Police visibility will be seen throughout the city in the two weeks leading up to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.

NCDC Metropolitan Superintendent Ben Turi told Loop PNG that manpower for roadblocks and checks have increased and some parts of the city might seem congested at nights.

Vehicles are advised to stop at these checkpoints for the police to give a quick run-down check on their vehicles before they can pass.

“I stress again that all vehicles must stop at these checkpoints,” says Turi.

Turi says there will also be roadblocks put up in certain streets where some vehicles like to take to escape police checks.

“Others have been trying to avoid police and are taking short cuts using side streets, however, I warn that the law is bound to catch up with them soon and the police will deal with them when the time comes.”

These roadblocks and vehicle checks will continue up until the FIFA World Cup games next month and into the festive season.
