In a joint media conference this afternoon, Acting Police Commissioner Jim Andrews and PNGDF Commander Brigadier General Gilbert Toropo warned that security personnel are now on the ground and anybody caught damaging property will face the full force of the law.
Acting Police Commissioner Jim Andrews said the actions of these landowners are uncalled for.
He said the perpetrators are known to police.
Andrews stressed that the minority who claim to be legitimate landowners, and have destroyed properties, will be apprehended and charged soon.
