Drug dealing

As per police reports, the hotspot areas where drug offenders are apprehended are at bus stops, betelnut markets and in the settlements.

The records also stated that within a week, more than five people are arrested for drug-related offenses such as consuming, selling, and having in their possession marijuana. 

Those that are arrested are brought to the police stations where they are interrogated and charged accordingly.

The 23-year-old Hagen Central man was selling drugs when he spotted the 28-year-old Tari man who owed him some money.

Eye witnesses told police that the Hagen man took out a bush knife but the Tari man ran off.

Police on patrol towards Saraga Street spotted the commotion and intervened to calm the situation.

Upon searching the man the police also uncovered 8kg of packed marijuana on him.

This means that the man will also be facing charges for drug possession as well as disturbing the peace and threatening with a dangerous weapon.
