Another Firestone Worker Wounded by Illicit Tapers

One more officer of the Plant Protection Department in Firestone has been seriously wounded in an illicit tapers’ attack.


Officer John Borbor was amongst a group of PPD officers patrolling the Division Forty-four Area on Tuesday night when the illicit tapers attacked.

Borbor explained that they were pursing the illicit tapers carrying several containers of latex when the men regrouped and wasted the acid on him.

He said the men had cutlasses, knives, acid water in plastic bottles and other sharp instruments that made it difficult for the officers to retrieve the latex containers.

Borbor is currently undergoing treatment at the Firestone Medical Center in Harbel.

Dozens of people have been either wounded or killed as a result of illicit tapping activities in Firestone.
