Lae police boss, Anthony Wagambie Jnr says some members of the public and those travelling in and out of West Taraka have been harassed but these are only a few incidents.
“Generally West Taraka is now losing its bad reputation as the Wild West of Lae City,” says Wagambie.
Wagambie says police will not be shaken by these threats from a very small minority.
“I am issuing my warning to these individuals, you better not try it, because I assure you, you try it and you will get it.”
