SINGAPORE – Five Singaporeans were arrested in an anti-drug operation conducted by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) on Feb 25 and 26, with almost 1,300 e-vaporiser pods seized, among other things.
In a press release on March 2, CNB said the four men and one woman were arrested for suspected drug offences. One of them, a 36-year-old man, was restrained and arrested near Bedok North on the evening of Feb 25, after he “put up a violent struggle”, and 50 vape pods were seized.
Over those two days, the authorities seized 1,284 vape pods and nine vapes believed to contain etomidate, as well as over $240,000 in cash, a small amount of foreign currencies, luxury watches and three vehicles, including a Ferrari car.
Also on Feb 25, CNB officers arrested a 29-year-old man at the junction of Sembawang Road and Mandai Avenue.
