3 teenage girls arrested for abusing drugs

SINGAPORE: Three teenage girls were arrested for abusing Ice, said the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) on Thursday (Feb 8). 

The girls, one 14-year-old and two 13-year-old students, admitted to abusing drugs together on “some occasions”, said CNB. 

“In the early hours of Feb 6, CNB officers visited the residence of a 14-year-old girl and arrested her therein for suspected drug abuse.”

CNB added that a stained packet was recovered from a search of her room, with preliminary investigations revealing that she had “started abusing Ice when she was 13”. 

Investigations also found that on the last occasion of taking Ice – about a week before her arrest – the 14-year-old girl was abusing it at home with two other friends. 

Officers proceeded to arrest the two other girls at their residences. 

“One of the 13-year-old had decided to participate in abusing Ice out of curiosity when she saw the other two girls doing so,” said CNB. 

Investigations on all three girls are ongoing.
