Madang Provincial Police Commander, Acting Supt Mazuc Rubiang said the hot spot areas are the road sections between Usino Junction to Madang town, along the South Coast of Madang and from the Junction going towards the airport to Rempi along the North Coast Road.
PPC Rubiang said the PMV buses and trucks most times fell victims to armed robbery and attempted hold-ups.
He said in an incident last week, a PMV bus travelling along the North Coast Road was held up at Good Shepherd Secondary school. Passengers were robbed off their valuable items.
