Five Papua New Guinea policemen have been arrested and charged with robbing a business in Gulf province.

The newspaper, The National, says the five were arrested along with two Chinese nationals.

Two Criminal Investigations Division officers allegedly involved in the robbery are on the run.

The provincial commander, Lincoln Gerari, says this kind of police behaviour must be stopped, describing it as corruption carried out in broad daylight.
