THE Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Singapore
Police Force arrested 85 people after a multi-agency operation
across Singapore that ended Friday morning.
The multi-agency effort saw officers from the Singapore Police
Force, the Central Narcotics Bureau, the Immigration and
Checkpoints Authority and the Singapore Customs, raiding various
locations in Geylang and Marine Parade, including entertainment
outlets, back lanes, lodging houses and roads.
The 85 were arrested for a host of criminal offences. This
includes illegal gambling activities, gang-related activities,
vice-related activities, peddling contraband cigarettes, as well as
immigration and gaming offences.
The operation also uncovered people working without valid work
permits.
Mr Ng Boon Gay, Director of CID and Senior Assistant
Commissioner of Police, said: 'We will continue to work together
with the relevant enforcement agencies to ensure that criminal
activities are kept at bay.'
Investigations against those arrested are ongoing.
