Part 4/9:
Seizure of Contraband and Illegal Items
A notable operation involved the interception of a vehicle suspected of transporting prohibited substances, including chewing tobacco and electronic vapes, both controlled items in Singapore. Under questioning, the driver revealed they were paid a modest sum ($70) to transport goods and cash collected from unspecified sources. The authorities seized a significant amount of contraband—believed to total over 3,870 pieces—marking one of the largest seizures to date. The operation involved coordination with various agencies, including the Health Sciences Authority (HSA), highlighting the multi-agency approach to combating smuggling and illegal distribution.
