By Veronica Hannette

Drug consumption is becoming a concern in Central Bougainville.

More than TEN case of unlawful wounding has been reported as a result of drug consumption.

Chief Commander for Central Bougainville Policing, Oscar Tugen said that police have so far collected 12 gas cylinders from Rau and Tera areas that were used for brewing homebrew.

Commander Tugen is concerned with the sales of Homebrew in so many shops in Arawa.

According to reports NINETY PERCENT of alcohol is supplied to Wakunai from Arawa therefore he is appealing to Business houses and Arawa police to look into the matter seriously.

At the moment there is no cell in Wakunai to put detainee and is also an expensive exercise to transport them to Buka cell.

Law and Order is a problem and Srgnt Tugen is calling on authorities to built a cell for Wakunai Police Station.
