Three suspected gang members wanted by the police to enforce monitoring and control orders voluntarily handed themselves over last night.
Upon request by the police and the home ministry, the High Court issued the first ‘MoniCon’ orders last week to tag 11 gang members under the controversial 2015 Anti-Terrorism Act.
Six young men were tagged on Thursday while the court issued a second batch of ‘MoniCon’ orders on the same day for five more alleged gang members.
The police explained yesterday that two of the five suspects are presently in custody in relation to ongoing investigations. After the police launched a manhunt for the other suspects and informed the media on Saturday, the three young men turned themselves in at the police headquarters last night.
