Police have appealed to residents in Gerehu to provide information about this gang
An unsuccessful robbery by a criminal gang on a lone female driver has resulted in the death of one of the gang members.
He was wounded and taken to the Gerehu hospital in Port Moresby but died later.
Police have appealed to residents in Gerehu to provide information about this gang.
In a report police say the gang sprung from a toad side and pounced on a lone female driver in a maroon sedan along Nikibata road in Gerehu.
The gang had homemade guns and knives.
About the same time, a police vehicle arrived, causing them to scatter in panic.
Then a loud gunshot went off almost instantly, and one of gang members fell to the ground, reportedly wounded by a police bullet.
Police say the suspect fell and laid flat on the ground while his accomplices fled.
His homemade gun, a knife, and a bilum were recovered by the lone policeman who, by then had radioed for backup.
