overseas via Telegram after he had served his sentence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Anton Andrievsky\u2019s parcel was sent from Britain before it was intercepted at the SingPost Centre in Eunos Road in September 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">When confronted, the American offender, 28, told the Singapore authorities he had ordered the drug from someone named \u201cYaz\u201d for his personal consumption, and had done so on around three other occasions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">During reformative training, young offenders are detained in a centre to undergo a strict regimen that can include foot drills and counselling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">But on Sept 16, the repeat offender, who is a Singapore permanent resident, was sentenced to two years and three months\u2019 jail after pleading guilty to one count of attempted drug possession.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">According to him, he<!-- --> had ordered about 140g of cannabis<!-- --> and had intended to pay Yaz $2,500 for the drug.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Andrievsky, who lived in a Toa Payoh flat, had also used its previous owner\u2019s details in the transaction as he did not want to use his own particulars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">An Immigration and Checkpoints Authority officer was performing screening duties at the agency\u2019s parcel post section at the SingPost Centre on Sept 30, 2025, when he spotted anomalies in the X-ray images of a parcel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Its intended delivery address was Andrievsky\u2019s home, but the previous owner was named as its recipient.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The authorities<!-- --> then inspected the parcel, which contained a pair of jeans and around 136g of \u201cvegetable matter\u201d, which was later identified as cannabis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The case was referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), and its officers visited Andrievsky\u2019s home at around 2.30pm that day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">They introduced themselves and knocked on the front door, but no one opened it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Andrievsky, who was alone, panicked and texted his then girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Deputy Public Prosecutor Jonathan Tan said CNB officers detected movement in the unit and gave several warnings to open the door, but Andrievsky refused to comply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Officers used force to enter the unit, and Andrievsky was arrested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">He could not provide any details about Yaz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">When asked to show his correspondence with Yaz, Andrievsky claimed he could not do so as he had forgotten his password.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br
