The car ditched into a drain close to Lambi Fishery and suspect were escaped.”

Mr Pegeava says, “I must make it very clear here that taking vehicle without someone’s concerns is not right. To make it worst the suspect remove the vehicle under influence of alcohol. It is against the law for you to influence under alcohol and drive. The message we always keep reminding us is
