SINGAPORE: Seventy-two people were arrested on Saturday for a variety of criminal offences during a multi-agency enforcement operation at Geylang.
The operation saw more than 150 officers from the police, Criminal Investigation Department, Immigration and Checkpoints Authority and Singapore Customs working together.
Sixty-two men and 10 women were arrested for offences such as immigration violations, peddling of contraband cigarettes, illegal gambling and gang and vice-related activities.
About 125 cartons and 90 packets of assorted brands of duty unpaid cigarettes were also seized from a unit located at Lorong 23 Geylang.
During one of the raids at Lorong 25A Geylang, a Vietnamese man who was believed to be acting as a lookout for a cigarette peddler, managed to flee.
Police said the bald Vietnamese man, believed to be in his thirties, was last seen wearing a white polo t-shirt, black bermudas and black sandals.
