SINGAPORE — Forty-nine men have been arrested for suspected drug offences following a raid at a hotel villa on Sentosa by the authorities.
In a statement on Saturday (Aug 12), the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said that acting on information received, the police had conducted checks at the villa on Wednesday morning and found controlled drugs at several locations within the premises.
CNB officers were then called to the scene. The substances seized include ecstasy, ketamine and drug paraphernalia.
The 49 men arrested are aged between 21 and 46. Thirty-five of them are Singaporeans.
Among the handout photos provided by CNB in its statement is an image of an invitation to the party, which the bureau said was believed to have been organised via a closed chatgroup platform.
CNB declined to disclose at which hotel the incident took place. It said investigations into the drug activities of all the suspects are ongoing.
It is an offence to arrange for gatherings for drug abuse, and it is also an offence for the premise owner, tenant or occupier to permit the premises to be used for drug abuse or drug trafficking. WITH CNA
