Four suspects have been arrested in relation to the K6 million robbery last Friday.

They are all G4S security guards and are now being questioned by police.

Assistant Police Commander for NCD Central Jim Andrews is calling on the G4S management for cooperation in the investigations.

With only four suspects arrested so far, he wants the investigation to proceed quickly and arrests more suspects and if possible recover the money.

Mr Andrews described the robbery as well planned.

He said the four suspects under police interrogation are all G4S guards including the Radio operator. 

Andrews is demanding that the G4S management come forward and assist the police detectives in the investigations.

The armoured G4S vehicle and the escort vehicle have fingerprints and are now with the police forensic unit.

Mr Andrews has warned big commercial banks and business houses to be cautious of the security firms they engage in their businesses and to utilise the services of the Royal PNG Constabulary when transferring huge sums of money.

He said police personnel are readily available and they should call for assistance when they want to do money transfers and banking.
