★The crime
It is the afternoon of Tuesday, July 9, and an armed gang in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, has just stolen K60,000 from security men as they carried the money out of a bank to an armoured car. (The Kina is the currency of Papua New Guinea.)
The gang, of four men, fired shots into the air as they rushed the security men, and clubbed one of them to the ground when he resisted. Passers-by were ordered to lie down on the ground. The men grabbed three bags containing the money, in used bank notes, and got away in a waiting car.
Nobody has yet been arrested or charge, so you might report the crime in the next morning's newspaper as follows:
Armed gang steals K60,000
An armed gang got away with K60,000 after a hold-up outside a city centre bank yesterday afternoon.
Four hooded men fired shots into the air and hit a security man over the head before grabbing the cash, which was in three leather bags.
The gang escaped in a waiting car, which was later found abandoned near the causeway to Tatana Island.
The injured security guard, Mr Peter Tom, was taken to Port Moresby General Hospital. He is said to be suffering from concussion and is in a satisfactory condition.
The hold-up happened at 2.45 pm yesterday as security men were carrying the money from Westpac Bank in Douglas Street, Port Moresby, to a waiting armoured car.
"It was all so unexpected," said Mr Hugh Leke, from Marshall Lagoon, who was walking past at the time of the robbery.
"One moment everything was normal and the next there were shots and everything was chaos. I saw some men - I think there were four of them - with hoods over their heads and guns in their hands and they were shouting at the security men and everyone.
"One of them was hitting a security man over the head, because he wouldn't let go of the bag of money he was holding.
"They told everyone to lie down in the road, so I did. It didn't seem a good idea to argue.
"After a few seconds, we heard a squeal of tyres and I looked up to see a car racing away. Lots of people then got up and went to help the injured guard."
Supt John Togula, of Boroko CID, said later: "We are determined to find this vicious and dangerous gang as soon as possible. We have found a car abandoned near the causeway to Tatana Island and we believe it is the car they made their getaway in.
"We would like the public to help us by telling us if they saw some men leaving a white Mazda 626 at that place at about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and going to another vehicle."
The manager of Westpac's Douglas Street branch, Mr Bruce Large, said later that he was shocked by what had happened.
"We are very shocked, but we have every confidence in the police to find the men responsible," he said.
The arrest
Two days later, on Thursday, July 11, the police tell you that they have arrested someone after a car chase and shoot-out, in which three people were shot dead and two policemen wounded.
They give you full details of the chase and the gun battle, and the names of the dead men and the man they have arrested. They say they believe this was the gang responsible for the bank robbery.
You ask whether they expect to charge him soon, and they say that they do not expect to charge him for a day or two. The matter is therefore not sub judice. All the same, we must be careful not to say that this was the gang that robbed Westpac Bank, though we can say there is a connection, if we do it only by stating facts. In the next day's newspaper, therefore, you can run a report as follows:
The dead men were named as David Kapul, Wally Muruk and Arthur Kakaruk. No addresses are yet available for the dead men, but it is believed that they all lived at Six Mile.
The wounded policemen are Corporal Jehosephat Garo, of Koki, and Constable William Jimi, of Waigani police barracks. Both men are attached to Boroko CID.
Cpl Garo is in a stable condition in Port Moresby General Hospital. He was shot in the abdomen and had an emergency operation last night to remove the bullet. Const Jimi is in a satisfactory condition with a wound in the thigh.
The man who is under arrest is Joe Mauswara, who is also believed to live at Six Mile. He is under police guard at Port Moresby General Hospital, where he is recovering from injuries which he received in the car crash.
He was recovered unconscious from the driving seat and is believed to have been the driver of the car when it crashed.
Supt Togula is leading the investigation into an armed robbery outside Westpac Bank's Douglas Street branch in Port Moresby on Tuesday, in which K60,000 was stolen and a security guard injured.
The police have since been looking for the gang of four armed men responsible.
