WORK is progressing well in terms of planning when and where police will destroy the remaining blue boat.

Supervising Police Commissioner Juanita Matanga, responding to questions raised during the Police weekly media conference, reassures the remaining blue boat will be destroyed soon.

She said plans are in place and soon police will do the destruction at an appropriate venue.
