Man, 60, & woman, 56, sent to hospital after suspected drugs, vapes found near Botanic Gardens, later arrested

A 56-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man were arrested on Aug. 26 for suspected drug-related offences.

They were found along 2 Adam Road, near Botanic Gardens, that morning.

In response to Mothership's queries, the police said they received a call for assistance at the location at about 10:10am.

A Mothership reader who was passing by the area said they saw several officers gathered under a flyover at around 11:40am.

Suspected drugs, drug paraphernalia, and vapes were found at the scene, the police shared.

Both the man and the woman were conveyed to the hospital — the woman was unconscious, while the man was conscious.

They were arrested subsequently for suspected drug-related offences, which have been referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB).

The vape-related offence will be referred to the Health Sciences Authority (HSA).

Investigations are ongoing.
