A member of a Belmont gang sparked a “national security incident” last Friday which caused security at the Parliament to be beefed up and several Government officials to be placed under higher protection.

This was disclosed by Attorney General John Jeremie in the Parliament yesterday, and also confirmed by Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro in response to questions from the Express.

The Attorney General made the disclosure during his contribution to the debate on the Parole Bill, 2026.
