Break-in

The incident perpetrated by unknown individuals resulted in the theft of K200 cash and a laptop. The breach not only caused material losses but also compromised the safety and security of patients, staff and visitors.

CEO of PMGH Dr. Paki Molumi condemned the break-in and urged community members to respect and care for public institutions, particularly hospitals and their dedicated staff.

The incident occurred between June 28^th and the early hours of June 29^th when masked men entered the Agiru Centre and made off with important documents.

Community leader and former advisor to Government interface, Martin Firmin Pat, told this newsroom the incident occurred when an audit was about to be conducted into the province’s spending of public funds.

The first incident occurred on September 13 (Wednesday), when an intruder came in twice into their office at Five-Mile, pretending to look for ‘The Voice’ office.

Ariel Adraincem, a property consultant/volunteer with the archdiocese, told Loop PNG: “Around 11:30am, he sat in front of me inside my office while I was having a conversation with some visitors. I noticed him so I asked him what he was doing in my office. 

Correctional Service Commissioner Michael Waipo says the armory was accessed with the use of a key.

No suspects have been identified at this time however police are investigating the matter.

Waipo believes this is an inside job as a result of a tussle of the current position he holds.

The armory was last accessed on Monday.

“Instructions have been issued for the changes of both the deadlock and secondary lock. Arms in the wrong hands is dangerous for everyone,” he says.

The Office of Personnel Management says more than 19 million who had applied for background investigations were affected. The government also said nearly 2 million people were also affected who weren't applicants, but rather their spouses or other family members.
