Eighty-one individuals were detained across Singapore in a nationwide narcotics bust, with the Central Narcotics Bureau seizing controlled substances valued at over S$105,500. The operation targeted suspected drug traffickers in various districts, including Toa Payoh, Telok Blangah and Punggol. Among the arrests, a 38-year-old man was apprehended at a Punggol Field housing complex for trafficking, after the occupants refused entry to officers searching his residence.
Inside the unit, authorities recovered drugs and weapons, including ice, heroin, cannabis, ketamine, ecstasy and knives. The 26-year-old man arrested later discovered a small quantity of ice in his vehicle. Police investigations are ongoing into the drug activities of all suspects, with the Misuse of Drugs Act imposing strict penalties for trafficking controlled substances.
