SINGAPORE: A teenage boy was among 70 suspected drug offenders arrested in an islandwide operation by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) that ended on Friday (Nov 22).
The 15-year-old Singaporean, believed to be a drug trafficker, was being investigated for selling Ice to a 14-year-old Singaporean female suspected drug abuser, CNB said in a news release on Friday.

During a raid on Wednesday, CNB officers arrested two suspected drug traffickers - a 22-year-old Singaporean female and a 32-year-old Singaporean male - in a residential unit in Yishun Avenue 11.

Other drug paraphernalia like a digital weighing scale and numerous drug-smoking apparatuses were also found within the unit.
Separately, on Thursday evening, CNB officers tailed a 29-year-old Singaporean man when he left a residential block in Yishun Street 81.
His vehicle was later intercepted along Mandai Road and the suspect was arrested. Inside his van, about 580g of Ice, a digital weighing scale and a drug-taking utensil were found.
The 704g of Ice seized during the operation is sufficient to feed the addiction of about 402 abusers for a week, CNB said.
Investigations into the drug activities of all the suspects are ongoing.
