CNB officers remove boys, aged 3 & 7 months, from S'porean couple's Marsiling home, parents arrested for drug activities

On August 11, 2026, officers from the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) conducted a raid at a residential unit in Marsiling Lane, Singapore, as part of an ongoing anti-drug operation. The suspects, a 25-year-old Singaporean man and a 24-year-old Singaporean woman, were arrested for suspected drug-related offences, including exposing their children to drugs.

The operation resulted in the seizure of a small amount of various drugs, including cannabis, Ice, and Ecstasy, as well as drug paraphernalia within the unit. The children, aged three years and seven months, were present in the master bedroom during the raid. CNB ensured the welfare of the children and placed them in the care of their next-of-kin.

Superintendent Xanthus Tong, Deputy Commanding Officer of Enforcement 'J', emphasized that drug abuse affects not only the abusers but also their families and young children, highlighting CNB's stance against exposing children to drugs. According to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973, any person aged 21 years or above who exposes controlled drugs or drug paraphernalia to a child could face prosecution.
