Singapore 82-Strong Drug Raid Nabbed Mom of 3-Month-Old Girl

CNB Blitz: Singapore’s Drug Bust Gone to the Extreme

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the Central Narcotics Bureau sets off a full‑scale raid that snags eight suspects, topples a drug stash, and even finds a baby guarding the scene. Let’s dive into the details.

Operation Overview

• Target Area: Telok Blangah (plus 9 other hotspots)
• Duration: Monday morning to Friday morning
• Key Outcome: 82 arrests, huge giant haul of drugs

Weapons of Mass Destruction (Drug‑wise)

• ≈165 g Ice
• 91 g of New Psychoactive Substances
• 14 g of heroin
• 3 g of ketamine
• 9 ecstasy tablets
• 6 Erimin‑5 tablets
• 3 methadone bottles

Telok Blangah Raid Highlights

On August 29, CNB teams stormed a hideout. They grabbed:

• 25 g of Ice – a cold‑cut by‑product of illegal commerce
• 2 suspects: a 25‑year‑old male (traffic sidekick) and a 24‑year‑old female (the “dab‑doom”)
• An innocent third‑party: a 3‑month‑old baby girl, the real MVP of the operation

Shockingly, the mom had been sniffing Ice even during pregnancy and a bit after the baby’s birth.

The Ministry of Social and Family Development’s Child Protective Service jumped in. They’ve arranged for the infant to stay with an extended family member while community services line up to keep those involved in line.

Summer of Chaos: The Rest of the Raids

CNB’s extensive sweep covered: Ang Mo Kio, Boon Lay, Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang, Geylang, Hougang, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Telok Blangah, and Yishun.

During the operation’s final hours, a 30‑year‑old male got caught near Tenteram Road. He didn’t just ignore orders – he threw punches, tried to choke an officer, and dumped a «show‑off», leading to a spectacular legal showdown.

• After a brief bout with the man, officers deployed “necessary force” to bring him in.
• He lost consciousness, was taken to a hospital, and later, a car search uncovered 25 g of Ice, a small ketamine packet, one Erimin‑5 tablet, and a combination of makeshift smoking tools.
• The five officers who got attacked are now on outpatient treatment. Police are looking into that incident, too.

Going Forward

All arrests are under scrutiny; investigations continue. CNB is committed to stopping drug trafficking and ensuring that vulnerable souls, like the tiny third‑party baby, get the protection they need.
