Anton Andrievsky, a repeat drug offender and Singapore permanent resident, was sentenced to 27 months' jail after his parcel containing about 136g of cannabis was intercepted at the SingPost Centre.

He had ordered the drug via Telegram from a contact named "Yaz", using a previous flat owner's details.

During the arrest, Andrievsky refused to open his door, and the authorities had to use force to enter his home.

SINGAPORE - A drug abuser, who had to undergo reformative training in 2019, ordered cannabis from overseas via Telegram after he had served the sentence .

Anton Andrievsky’s parcel was sent from the United Kingdom before it was intercepted at the SingPost Centre in Eunos Road in September 2025.

When confronted, the American offender, 28, told Singapore authorities he had ordered the drug from one “Yaz” for his personal consumption, and had done so on around three other occasions.

During reformative training, young offenders are detained in a centre to undergo a strict regimen that can include foot drills and counselling.

But on Sept 16, the repeat offender, who is a Singapore permanent resident, was sentenced to two years and three months’ jail after pleading guilty to one count of attempted drug possession.

According to him, he had ordered about 140g of cannabis and had intended to pay Yaz $2,500 for the drug.

Andrievsky, who lived in a Toa Payoh flat, had also used its previous owner’s details in the transaction as he did not want to use his own particulars.

An Immigration and Checkpoints Authority officer was performing screening duties at the agency’s parcel post section at the SingPost Centre on Sept 30, 2025, when he spotted anomalies in the X-ray images of a parcel.

Its intended delivery address was Andrievsky’s home, but the previous owner was named as its recipient.

The authorities then inspected the parcel which contained a pair of jeans and around 136g of “vegetable matter”, which was cannabis.

The case was referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), and its officers visited his home at around 2.30pm that day.

They introduced themselves and knocked on the front door, but no one opened it.

Andrievsky, who was alone, panicked and texted his then-girlfriend.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Jonathan Tan said CNB officers detected movement in the unit and gave several warnings to open the door, but he refused to comply.

Officers used force to enter the unit, and Andrievsky was arrested.

He could not provide any details about Yaz.

When asked to show his correspondence with Yaz, Andrievsky claimed he could not do so as he had forgotten his password.

新加坡永久居民、惯犯毒品罪犯安东·安德里耶夫斯基（Anton Andrievsky）因在新加坡邮政中心被截获的装有约 136 克大麻的包裹而被判处 27 个月监禁。

他通过 Telegram 向一个名叫“Yaz”的联系人订购了这种毒品，使用的正是之前公寓房主的详细信息。

逮捕过程中，安德里耶夫斯基拒绝开门，当局不得不使用武力强行进入他的家中。

新加坡——一名吸毒者在 2019 年接受了改造训练，服刑期满后，他通过 Telegram 从海外订购了大麻。

安东·安德里耶夫斯基的包裹从英国寄出，于 2025 年 9 月在友诺士路的新加坡邮政中心被拦截。

面对质问，这名 28 岁的美国罪犯告诉新加坡当局，他曾向一个名叫“Yaz”的人订购毒品供自己使用，并且此前还有大约三次这样的情况。

在改造训练期间，年轻的罪犯会被关押在中心接受严格的训练，包括体能训练和心理辅导。

但9月16日，这名惯犯（新加坡永久居民）承认一项企图持有毒品罪，被判处两年零三个月监禁。

据他所说，他订购了约 140 克大麻，并打算支付 Yaz 2500 美元购买这种毒品。

住在Toa Payoh组屋的Andrievsky在交易中也使用了前房主的详细信息，因为他不想使用自己的详细信息。

2025年9月30日，一名移民与关卡局官员在新加坡邮政中心的包裹邮寄部门执行检查任务时，发现一个包裹的X光图像存在异常。

邮件的预期收件地址是安德里耶夫斯基的家，但收件人却是前任主人。

当局随后检查了该包裹，发现里面有一条牛仔裤和大约 136 克“植物性物质”，实际上是大麻。

该案件已移交中央肃毒局（CNB），该局官员于当天下午 2 点 30 分左右前往其住所。

他们做了自我介绍，并敲了敲前门，但没有人开门。

当时独自一人的安德里耶夫斯基惊慌失措，给当时的女友发了短信。

副检察官 Jonathan Tan 表示，中央肃毒局官员发现该单元内有动静，并多次警告其开门，但他拒绝配合。

警员强行进入该单元，安德里耶夫斯基被逮捕。

他无法提供关于Yaz的任何细节。

当被要求出示与 Yaz 的通信记录时，安德里耶夫斯基声称他无法出示，因为他忘记了密码。
