SINGAPORE – A 14-year-old Singaporean girl was among 162 suspected drug offenders nabbed by Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers.

The islandwide operation, which included raids in Jurong West, Bukit Panjang, Paya Lebar, Balestier and Tampines, ran from Sept 14 until Friday (Sept 25).

A total of 870g of heroin, 586g of methamphetamine or Ice, 176g of ketamine, 47g of new psychoactive substances, 322 Ecstasy tablets, 203 Erimin-5 tablets and 13 bottles containing GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) were seized. The drugs are worth an estimated $260,500.

No details were given surrounding the arrest of the girl.

CNB officers raided two hotel rooms in Beach Road on Thursday (Sept 24) and arrested five Singaporeans – four men and one woman aged between 34 and 56.

One of those arrested was a 35-year-old man who had his 12-year-old son with him in the room, where drugs were displayed openly.

The boy’s 36-year-old mother was also arrested during the raid for suspected drug offences.

The boy was placed in the safe custody of a close family member, the CNB said on Friday.
