3 people arrested in Bukit Panjang, chopper & stack of licence plates among items seized

Three people were arrested at a Bukit Panjang Housing and Development Board (HDB) estate on Dec. 16.

According to Shin Min Daily News, more than 10 police cars were spotted at Block 534 Jelapang Road at around 9am on Tuesday.

Photos provided by one of the readers showed three or four police cars along the service road, while another group of officers was seen searching a black Mitsubishi sedan at the foot of the block.

Individual shouted at the police officers

When a Shin Min reporter arrived at the scene, three individuals were found handcuffed and sitting separately below the block of flats, awaiting questioning.

At one point, one of them apparently became agitated and shouted at the officers present.

One investigator was also observed taking photos inside the black sedan.

Chopper and stack of licence plates found

According to Shin Min, a chopper, a sharp object resembling a Swiss Army knife, and a stack of licence plates were among items recovered at the scene.

The chopper, which was reportedly wrapped in a pink cover, was placed onto a sheet on the ground for documentation.

About six different licence plates were also laid out.

The licence plates appeared brand new, with some still wrapped in plastic packaging.

In response to Mothership's queries, police confirmed that they were alerted to a case of fight at Block 534 Jelapang Road.

Two men, aged 23 and 26, and a 23-year-old woman, were arrested for carrying offensive weapons in public places and suspected drug-related offences.

No injuries were reported, but suspected drugs, drug-related paraphernalia, and e-vaporisers were found at the scene.

The 23-year-old woman and the 26-year-old man were also arrested for fraudulent possession of property.

The suspected drug-related offences have been referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau, and the e-vaporiser-related offence will be referred to the Health Sciences Authority (HSA).

Investigations are ongoing.
