Unexpected Find at a Midnight Drug Raid
A Tale of Two Worlds
When Central Narcotics Bureau officers busted a drug den on Chin Swee Road early Wednesday, they didn’t imagine running into a four‑year‑old. In a cramped unit, sachets of “Ice” scattered within arm’s reach, the tiny girl’s fate seemed tangled with the illegal.
The People Behind the Chaos
- Child: 4‑year‑old, daughter of a 22‑year‑old woman caught for suspected drug abuse.
- Suspected Traffickers: 2 arrested.
- Drug Stock: 26 g of “Ice” plus a digital weighing scale and homemade paraphernalia.
Co‑ordination With Social Services
CNB teamed up with the Ministry of Social and Family Development’s Child Protective Services to ensure that the little one will be cared for by an immediate family member and receive support from community services.
Why This Matters
It’s a stark reminder that drug problems can spill into the most unlikely places – even a preschooler’s bedroom. The quick response and collaboration between law enforcement and child protection teams aim to keep the girl safe and give her a chance to grow up untainted by the darker side of the world.
