The man was reportedly uncooperative and refused to open the door, and so, officers had to force their way into the apartment.

The man continued to put up a “violent struggle” when officers broke into the house. He was eventually subdued using “necessary force”.

6g of ‘Ice’ and other drug apparatus were seized at the unit.

A 31-year-old woman – along with her 4-month-old child – was also arrested for suspected drug activities in the same apartment.

Subsequent investigations found that the mother had been abusing ‘Ice’ throughout her pregnancy.

The child is currently in the safe custody of a relative.

You can run, but the police will find you eventually

Kudos to the CNB officers for their determination which resulted in the arrest of the runaway passenger.

We hope this serves as a warning for all to be cooperative when dealing with the police.

You can run, but they will eventually find you.
