Settlers at the eight mile community outside of Port Moresby have raised the issue of illegal guns.
In the meeting held with police as a result of fighting in the area over the weekend a concerned community leader Jacob John told police that there is a big issue of guns in the settlement area.
John alleges that in the recent fight two M16 guns were used to intimidate members of the community.
In response Metropolitan police Commander Ben Turi told John to liaise with police and come forward with information into the people who are holding the weapons.
Turi says that the community needs to take ownership of the law and order issue in the area.
He says that until dialogue opens up and the main Gun holders are revealed police assistance will be limited.
Turi says that this is the main reason why he is pushing for a big gun patrol raid to take place in the city
He also says that settlers must take note of such incidences and report the matter to their nearest police station.
Turi added that together police and the community can help to deal with the issue of guns in the city.
