POLICE officers said they intend to consult with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions if any charges can be laid against head of the Special Operations Response Team (SORT) Insp Mark Hernandez as they wrapped up their investigations on Saturday.
Hernandez took part in an identification parade on Saturday after it was postponed on Friday because police could not find enough people fitting his description to stand alongside him.
