3.6kg of heroin seized in drug raids, 139 people arrested
SINGAPORE: Nearly 3.6kg of heroin was seized and 139 people arrested during drug raids across Singapore in May, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said on Saturday (May 31). Of the 139 arrested, the youngest was a 14-year-old student for suspected drug use. CNB officers conducted raids from May 18 to May 30, covering areas such as Ang Mo Kio, Boon Keng, Bukit Merah, Jurong and Sengkang. During the raids, more than S$626,700 (US$486,000) worth of drugs were seized. Besides the heroin, another 2.7kg of cannabis, 1.3kg of Ice, 155g of Ecstasy, 26g of cocaine and more than 200 Erimin-5 were found. Officers also discovered 49 vape devices suspected to contain tetrahydrocannabinol, a cannabinoid found in cannabis, and 22 LSD stamps. FIVE ARRESTED IN TUAS In the early morning of May 23, CNB launched a raid in Tuas South Avenue, acting on information it received. Five foreign nationals – men aged between 23 and 34 – were arrested for suspected drug offences. Two of them struggled to resist arrest, and "necessary force" was used to subdue them, said CNB. A 23-year-old man was spotted disposing of substances, including 2g of cannabis. Another man was found with Ice. The officers also arrested a 32-year-old man after 27g of cannabis was found in a room in a "residential lodging" in the area. HEROIN IN GEYLANG HOTEL ROOM On May 28, CNB officers raided a hotel room in Geylang Lorong 10 and arrested a 46-year-old man for suspected drug trafficking offences. The officers forced their way in because the man had refused to comply with orders to open the door. More than 2.8kg of heroin was found, together with 565g of Ice, 20g of cannabis, 24g of ketamine, four Erimin-5 tablets and over S$500 in cash. The following day, a 29-year-old man was arrested at the car park of a condominium at Tampines Street 86 for suspected drug trafficking offences. He was escorted to his "hideout in the condominium", said CNB. Officers found more than 2kg of cannabis, 165g of Ice, 103g of ketamine, 37g of Ecstasy, 26g of cocaine and 22 LSD stamps, as well as Erimin-5 tablets and 49 vapes. Assistant Commissioner Aaron Tang, director CNB's Intelligence Division, said: "The drugs we seized from the operation would have destroyed countless lives and families in Singapore. "Our message is clear - those who choose to profit from selling drugs will face the full force of CNB's actions. We will hunt these drug traffickers down to keep Singapore drug-free for our communities." Investigations into the arrested suspects are ongoing.

ICE agents in Boston arrest migrant murderer, child rapists as Fox News rides along
Print Close By Bill Melugin, Michael Dorgan Published May 30, 2025 Fox News embedded exclusively with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the greater Boston area this week, where agents were carrying out the arrests of hundreds of egregious criminal migrants in what the agency said is the largest operation it has undertaken since President Donald Trump returned to office. The sweeping operation, called "Patriot," is expected to hit 1,500 arrests and is targeting migrants like a Salvadoran illegal migrant convicted of child rape who went to prison and was deported in 2017. He was nabbed by ICE living right next to a children's playground. ICE also swooped on another illegal migrant who is on El Salvador's most wanted list and has an Interpol Red Notice for aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping and robbery. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SETS NEW GOAL OF 3,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ARRESTS DAILY Both arrests were captured exclusively on camera by Fox News. ICE deployed 19 teams across Massachusetts this week and the agency brought in ICE teams from other parts of the country to assist. It's in direct response to Massachusetts and Boston's sanctuary policies, where officials do not fully enforce or assist with federal immigration laws, as border czar Tom Homan has promised to surge ICE to these areas. Fox News is told that about 70% of the arrests are criminals with convictions or pending charges. ICE TOUTS RECORD-BREAKING IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT DURING TRUMP'S FIRST 100 DAYS Patricia Hyde, the head of ICE Boston, said it's not uncommon to have migrants convicted of child rape to be roaming public streets close to where children play. "It's not unusual. Due to the open border policies, we are finding that plenty of people who have been previously deported and committed heinous crimes and were removed from the country are now back here, just living among us," Hyde said. "And now that's our job to go round them up." Fox News also joined ICE as they arrested a Colombian illegal migrant facing pending charges for sexual assault of a child, as well as a Dominican illegal migrant with a drug trafficking conviction who is now facing local charges for fentanyl distribution. Meanwhile, other arrests included a Guatemalan illegal migrant who's facing charges in Massachusetts for aggravated child rape but was released from state custody. They also arrested Honduran alien, who's facing local charges for rape and was also released from local custody. ICE Boston told Fox News that local ICE activists have been interfering in their operations. For instance, on Thursday, activists tried to grab onto a migrant who had been handcuffed by ICE, and in another incident, agents were stalking out a migrant murderer's home and a crowd gathered and blew their cover. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Hyde said sanctuary jurisdictions are starting to escalate against ICE. "I think the lack of cooperation is getting worse and worse and it's putting law enforcement lives in danger," Hyde said. Hyde said that ICE agents will continue to round up dangerous criminal illegal migrants, despite pushback from local lawmakers and activists. "We're not going away. It might take us longer. It might be harder, but we're not going away, we're here," Hyde said. "We know what the American people voted for. We understand that we work for the American people and we're going to be here until we send everyone home." Print Close URL

Police make 180 arrests and seize 30 weapons during knife crackdown
Officers made 180 arrests and seized 30 bladed weapons during a week-long knife crime crackdown in West Yorkshire. West Yorkshire Police conducted 55 "knife sweeps" in parks, fields and in urban centres in search of weapons as part of the national Sceptre visibility patrols were also deployed in 66 knife crime hotspots in the county, with police visiting 43 schools to carry out awareness campaigns. A force spokesperson said the initiative was part of its "longer term work to dissuade young people from carrying knives in the first place". During the seven days of targeted action, weapons including knives and a sword were uncovered after a search of an address in avenues included visits to retailers to test if they were willing to sell knives to children. One shop in Calderdale was found to be selling blades without carrying out age checks. Ch Supt Lee Berry, of the West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership, said: "I hope residents have been reassured by all of the highly visible action which has taken place in our communities."Anyone who has information about persons carrying knives or the illegal sale of them is urged to contact either their local neighbourhood policing team or the independent Crimestoppers charity."Alison Lowe, West Yorkshire's deputy mayor for policing and crime, said: "This is a vital part of our collective ambitions on knife crime here in West Yorkshire."This dedicated awareness week offers just a window into the ongoing partnership work taking place, day in day out, to keep our communities safe."

Lawsuit says Honolulu police arrest sober drivers in focus on arrests for impaired driving
HONOLULU (AP) — The Honolulu Police Department said it will review all impaired driving arrests after the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging officers are arresting sober drivers in an overzealous focus on making drunk-driving arrests. In recent years Honolulu officers have arrested 'scores' of drivers who show no outward signs of impairment, perform well on field sobriety tests and whose breath tests often show no alcohol, the lawsuit said. The department is driven by a 'singular focus' on getting arrests for driving under the influence, even if they don't result in convictions, in an attempt to show that officers are protecting the public, to use the arrest numbers to secure federal funding and to meet quotas, the ACLU said. In response, the department said in a statement that it 'takes these allegations very seriously,' and officials have 'initiated a comprehensive review of all impaired driving arrests dating back to 2021.' The ACLU said they became aware of the issue thanks to an investigation by Hawaii News Now reporter Lynn Kawano. Police are motivated with incentives such as supervisors telling night enforcement officers they can go home and still get paid for an entire shift if they make a DUI arrest, which results in officers taking investigative shortcuts or making arrests without probable cause, the ACLU said. The class-action lawsuit is on behalf of three plaintiffs who were arrested and represents hundreds of other drivers. The lawsuit is asking a judge to declare that the Honolulu police's practices are unconstitutional and unlawful. It doesn't seek monetary damages. In addition to the ongoing review, the cases of the three plaintiffs will be internally investigated, police said: 'We are dedicated to upholding public trust and will take appropriate action should any misconduct be found.' From 2002 through 2024, Honolulu police arrested 127 people who had a blood-alcohol content level of 0.000 after a breath or blood test for driving under the influence, according to the lawsuit. Only 15 people were given a traffic ticket, and only three people were charged with driving under the influence of drugs, the lawsuit said. Honolulu police's 'pattern' has been to stop drivers either without any problematic driving at a sobriety checkpoint or for minor traffic infractions, the lawsuit said. Tanner Pangan was a high school senior when an officer pulled him over last year after his truck swerved on a rain-slicked road. 'When I got pulled over and accused of drinking and driving ... I was kind of stunned because I don't drink, I don't do drugs, nothing,' he told reporters during a virtual news conference. It was his first time being arrested or pulled over. 'Each of our clients blew a 0.000. None of them were intoxicated. Yet they endured lasting damage to their records, their reputation, traumatic arrests, and unlawful detention,' said Jeremy O'Steen, an attorney with a firm that is working on the lawsuit with ACLU Hawaii. 'What we are demanding today is simple: Stop arresting innocent people. Stop manipulating the system.' ACLU Hawaii is concerned there are quotas that officers are trying to meet. In looking at arrest statistics, the ACLU found a cluster of arrests at the end of the month. On Aug. 31, 2024, there were arrests where a breath test showed 0.000 in the same location about 20 minutes of each other, the ACLU said.
