Police in Madang are out in full force to maintain good order and peace during this festive season.
According to Provincial Police, Commander, Superintendent David Seine Jr the police units have been grouped in teams and will report to their respective bosses during their operation.
He said they will be working in shifts to make sure that police presence is felt 24/7 in the province.
PPC Seine Jr is pleased with what the Taskforce Team did yesterday, where they conducted a mini raid at Morelang near RSL Market and caught three suspects involved in producing homebrew.
He said the suspects escaped and their homebrewing implements were confiscated.
The Liquor Licensing Commissioner and Provincial Administrator, Frank Lau had issued a circular on Liquor Ban throughout the province, effective from Friday 23, December 4.30 pm to Tuesday 2 January 2023.
“Alcohol is cause of most of the law and order issues in the province. I want to call on the people of Madang to abide by this circular and must not sell any form of alcohol during the festive season,” PPC Seine Jr said.
He called on those producing homebrew to stop because the police will not come easy on those doing illegal alcohol trading.
