EIGHT SUSPECTED gang members have been detained under the Emergency Powers Regulations 2025, governing the state of emergency, in an attempt to prevent imminent assassination plots.

The notices, gazetted late on August 6, cited imminent threats to national security posed by alleged gang members and criminal conspirators, according to Legal Notices No 255 through 261, published on the night of August 6.

Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander ordered the detentions under the authority of Regulation 14, which empowers the state to pre-emptively detain individuals suspected of endangering public safety.
