RSIPF warns communities of bomb blasting at Alligator Creek

The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Team will conduct a live demolition of bombs at Hells Point, in the Alligator Creek area East of Honiara on Wednesday 15 March 2023.

Officer In-charge (OIC) of EOD, Inspector Clifford Tunuki says, “The Hells Point Demolition Range in Central Guadalcanal will be active from 8am to 1pm (15 March 2023).”

Inspector Tunuki says, “Farmers, fishermen, hunters and the general public in the Henderson area, Alligator Creek and Tenaru School areas are kindly warned to keep out from Hells Point while the Operation is in progress. Safe evacuations of people and road blocks will be enforced within these areas from east Henderson to Tenaru School bus stop.”

“This is our normal weekly EOD task aimed to reduce the number of Unexploded Ordnances stored at the site to a minimum level,” says Inspector Tunuki.

He says, “Coordination of firing of each serial will be carried out during this operation from the actual times of the demolition and completion time.”
