“In terms of police operations we will continue to remain on high alert until such time that the situation is going back to normal then we will go back to our normal duties as well.”

Meanwhile, the Acting Police Commissioner thanked leaders and chiefs in Honiara and throughout the country for supporting police work to put the situation at ease.
