July 14, 2022 A man attacked anti-narcotics officers with pepper spray as he was being arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking on Wednesday (July 13). Officers from the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) had to forcibly restrain the 30-year-old Singaporean, who had put up a violent struggle in the incident near Bedok North Avenue 3. The man also had a knuckle duster and a karambit knife on him when he was arrested, CNB said on Thursday. A karambit knife is a small hooked blade with origins in Indonesia.
The man may face the death sentence. A total of about 141g of heroin was seized from him - 22g found on him and another 119g at a hideout in a private residential area near Siglap Road.
