suspect was apprehended by a police patrol team on a stop-and-search
duty, following a tip-off.

ASP Peter Arin, who spoke on behalf of the newly promoted officers, said the promotion would spur them to work harder for the country.
“This promotion will enhance my work and make me to work harder and to fight criminality in the country,“he said.

He commended the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, for considering them worthy for the promotion.
