This month, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) conducted more anti-drug operations to weed out the scourge of drugs from Singapore.
In one of the raids, a 15-year-old girl was arrested.
She was suspected of drug consumption.
The teenager’s arrest was included in a news release from the CNB on Friday (14 June).
In the statement, the CNB said it conducted an islandwide anti-drug operation from 10 to 14 June.
The raids took place across locations in Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Batok and Toa Payoh.
In total, 71 suspected drug offenders were arrested during the raids, CNB said.
One of them was a 15-year-old girl who was a Secondary Three student.
Suspected of drug consumption, she was the youngest person arrested during the operation in June.
One of the operations was carried out on Wednesday (12 June) at a residential unit in the vicinity of Bukit Batok Street 32.
Drug activities were suspected of being carried out on the premises.
About 78g of ‘Ice’ was found in two bedrooms — 41g in the bedroom of a 41-year-old man and 37g from the bedroom of a 44-year-old woman.
The man was also escorted to a rubbish chute on the ground floor of the block, and about 423g of ‘Ice’ and 300 Erimin-5 tablets were discovered after a search.
Eventually, three Singaporeans were arrested — the 41-year-old man and two women, aged 44 and 33.
The man is the husband of the 33-year-old woman.
He is the brother of the 44-year-old woman.
Another notable raid took place on Thursday (13 June), where a large haul of heroin was uncovered.
This was at a residential unit in the vicinity of Bedok North Avenue 4.
CNB officers found about 400g of heroin and 12g of ‘Ice’ after a search.
They also arrested a 44-year-old Singaporean woman in the flat.
In total, the drugs seized include:
They have an estimated street value of about S$221,000.
Investigations are ongoing into all the arrested suspects.
