Students in drug running

 

KIUNGA police are concerned that more and more students have become involved in smuggling drugs from the Highlands into the Western Province.

 

The concern was raised after five Year-10 students from Kiunga Secondary School were caught smuggling marijuana into the province on Friday.

 

A police spokesman from Kiunga police station said that the five students were caught with more than 20kg of marijuana, which had been transported from Mt Hagen to Kiunga.

 

Constable Peterson Tnbetaya said the five students were also from the Highlands region.

 

He said the five students were now in police custody and were awaiting their court hearing as soon as the court files were ready.

 

He said two or three months ago, Kiunga police also caught some people smuggling drugs into the province but it was not reported.

 

Constable Tnbetaya said 15 detainees were now in police custody, - 10 of them on drug related cases.
