Crackdown on youth gangs;

POLICE warned youth offenders involved in violent crimes that they will not be treated lightly simply because of their age, and vowed to deal with all gang behavior 'firmly and decisively'.

Police said they conduct regular enforcement rounds on the ground to flush out out gang activities. Once detected, the Secret Societies Branch would step in to investigate the extent of gang involvement by each member.

Following recent incidents, police have picked up 40 suspects in an island-wide and will continue to target gang-related activity.

If i am in control of the situation, i will do the same and also creating public awareness by using various form of media such as placing more advertisment at bus-stop and television advertisement.
