The efforts above are part of our wide raging initiatives, designed to significantly reduce the incidence of gang crime.
We would like to inform the public that the arrests bring the violent and aggressive careers of the suspects to a halt, and will no doubt bring some measure of justice to their many victims.
We do commend our joint security agencies for their tireless pursuit of justice against these violent suspects who threaten the safety and stability of our neighbourhoods.
