An alleged drug trafficker turned violent during an anti-drug operation conducted by Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers on Tuesday (Nov 3), allegedly biting an officer and spitting on two others during his arrest.
In a news release on Thursday, the bureau said that its officers had carried out the arrest in a residential unit near Marsiling Road after receiving information about his alleged drug trafficking offences.
According to CNB, the 64-year-old struggled violently during the arrest and attacked an officer, biting the officer's thigh through his jeans. He also purportedly spat at two other officers.
All three officers received prompt medical attention, including assessments for potential infectious diseases.
A subsequent search of the unit uncovered about 1,554g of cannabis, 166g of 'Ice', 25g of 'Ecstasy', cash amounting to $356, and drug paraphernalia.
The bureau said the drugs seized are estimated to be worth over $55,000, while the cannabis and 'Ice' seized could potentially feed the addiction of 320 abusers for a week.
Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, those found guilty of trafficking more than 500g of cannabis may face the mandatory death penalty.
CNB said its investigations into the drug activities of the arrested suspect are ongoing.
The man has also been referred to the police for further investigations into offences of voluntarily causing hurt and using criminal force to deter public servants from their duties.
Commenting on the operation, CNB Intelligence Division director Assistant Commissioner Ng Khai Song said the bureau will not tolerate any acts of violence against its officers.
He noted that in this case, the officers swiftly took down the suspected drug traffickers, adding that the bureau will not hesitate to take firm action against those who threaten or assault our officers who are carrying out their duty.
"We stand firmly behind our officers and ensure that justice is served without fear or favour, as we remain relentless in bringing down drug offenders. CNB will render full assistance to officers who are injured in the line of duty," the director said.
周二（11月3日），中央肃毒局（CNB）警员在一次缉毒行动中，一名涉嫌贩毒的男子变得暴力，据称他在被捕过程中咬伤了一名警员，并向另外两名警员吐口水。
该局周四发布新闻稿称，其警员在接到有关其涉嫌贩毒罪行的情报后，在马西岭路附近的一处住宅单位实施了逮捕。
据中央肃毒局称，这名64岁的男子在被捕过程中激烈反抗，并袭击了一名警员，隔着牛仔裤咬伤了该警员的大腿。他还据称向另外两名警员吐口水。
三名警员均得到了及时的医疗救治，包括传染病筛查。
随后对该单元的搜查发现了约 1554 克大麻、166 克冰毒、25 克摇头丸、356 美元现金和吸毒用具。
该局表示，缴获的毒品估计价值超过 55,000 美元，而缴获的大麻和冰毒可能足以满足 320 名吸毒者一周的毒瘾。
根据《滥用毒品法》，贩运超过 500 克大麻的罪犯可能面临强制性死刑。
中央肃毒局表示，对被捕嫌疑人的毒品活动调查仍在进行中。
该男子还被移交警方，以进一步调查其涉嫌故意伤人罪和使用武力妨碍公务人员履行职责的罪行。
