The unstable weather conditions experienced in the country have disrupted police operations in Malaita Province.
Malaita Provincial Police Commander, Superintendent Michael Ramosaea spoke to the paper about one incident that occurred last week in Roone, South Malaita.
He said they had received an urgent call where a fight broke out between a mentally ill woman and her two brothers, but due to high seas they were not able to intervene.
Superintendent Ramosaea said the incidents occurring in locations without road access are the most complicated ones.
When asked if they have speedboats and outboard motors to use during bad weather, he said they have two outboard motors, but they are not suitable for use during rough seas.
“We have two boats, but we can’t use them because they are not suitable for rough seas and high swells at the South Malaita seashores,” he said.
He said he will still send his officers to attend to the incident on a later date.
“So, we will wait until we have stable weather before our police attend to the incident,” he said.
