Christmas in Lae

Alcohol abuse still a concern: Wagambie Jnr

However, Lae Metropolitan Superintendent Anthony Wagambie Jnr told Loop PNG that their Christmas operations were successful, with no major crimes reported.

“The people of Lae are commended for observing the true meaning of Christmas. Police were out in numbers on 24-hour shifts and quickly attended to reports of drunk or disorderly conduct,” Wagambie Jnr said.

“The Police holding cells were filled to capacity with drunks and disorderly individuals; they were released after they were sober.”
