‘The law will come down on you’

Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander says the newly proclaimed special operations le­gislation will be implemented with an “element of surprise” and strate­gically deployed by law enforcement against criminal elements.

He warned yesterday that the law will come down on them like a “tonne of bricks”.

In a telephone interview with the Express, Alexander welcomed the proclamation of the legislation, saying it provides an additional weapon in the State’s arsenal to fight crime and protect law-abiding citizens.
