He adds: “Police then invited him to Taro police station for questioning and at the same time notified the Immigration Department.”
Senior Sergeant Lapo says adds: “The German national was then advised to leave Solomon Islands for PNG voluntarily however he escaped to the mainland Choiseul and disappeared. Police conducted a search and finally found him near Kona Village and he was formally arrested and placed in Police custody awaiting formalities from the Solomon Islands Immigration Department.”
“I want to thank the members of the public in Choiseul who came forward and reported the matter to police.
