Bougainville Police Service Assistant Commander, THOMAS ELUH says Bougainville could lose its image if actions of certain people are not stopped immediately.

He told New Dawn FM today that the recent organized lootings in Buka town is bad for Bougainville’s image.

MR. ELUH says there are ways of addressing issues and taking the law into one’s hand will only create more problems for Bougainville.

The ACP was also said that investigations into these activities are continuing and called on the people not to support illegal activities.

On the boat mishap in Torokina, MR. ELUH also called on the people of Bougainville to make sure that any deals with outsiders must be done with the ABG administration.

He said that incidents like the Torokina boat mishap is a classic example of people who try to deal directly with landowners and bypass the Authorities on the ground.

MR. ELUH said that investigations are continuing and persons could be charged once the investigations are completed.
