According to the action Police Station Commander (PSC) Senior Sergeant Gordon Wetty, his officers set up early because they have multiple locations within 6- Mile to set up further checkpoints. "At the roadblocks, we check for drink driving, offensive weapons and or any suspicious activities," said the action PSC.
