SENIOR police sources say they are confident at least 14 people who were held under the authority of a Preventive Detention Order (PDO) during the State of Emergency (SoE), will be charged before it expires.

The SoE began on December 30 and will end on April 13 as Parliament must meet to vote on an extension, but cannot as it has been prorogued in light of the upcoming April 28 general election.

The 14 unnamed prisoners are allegedly affiliated with two particular gangs and will face multiple gang-related offences.
