In one of the clips, a man is seen in handcuffs as officers search the lorry.

In response to a Stomp query, the police said they conducted checks on the lorry driver and his passengers at a heavy vehicle carpark along Boon Lay Way at 3.50pm.

"During the checks, the driver refused to comply with the officer's instruction and sped off with his passengers," a police spokesman said.

"After a brief pursuit, the lorry subsequently came to a stop along Jurong East Street 21 and the male driver was subsequently arrested for rash act causing hurt and suspected drug-related offences.

"Both female passengers were arrested for suspected drug-related offences."

Police investigations are ongoing.
