Items thrown out of a Buangkok Crescent bedroom window turned out to be vape products, including a suspected Kpod.
Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers raided the flat on Sept 25 and arrested a man, 29, for drug trafficking.
Before the arrest, items were seen discarded from the unit's bedroom window.
The items were later retrieved and found to be vape-related products including a pod believed to contain etomidate.
In the early morning of the same day, CNB officers also arrested a 28-year-old man at Hougang Street 51.
Numerous vape-related products including 524 e-vaporiser pods believed to contain etomidate, and cash including $3,500 were found and subsequently seized.
The two Singaporeans were among 77 suspected drug offenders nabbed in an islandwide anti-drug operation from Sept 21 to 26. The areas covered included Aljunied, Boon Keng and Selegie.
On the evening of Sept 21, CNB officers raided a residential unit at New Bridge Road and arrested a 60-year-old Singaporean man, and about 106g of heroin and 26g of Ice were recovered from the residence.
In the early morning of Sept 24, a 46-year-old Singaporean woman was arrested at Champions Way in Woodlands. CNB officers seized about 143g of heroin, 18g of Ice, 65g of cannabis and 10g of ketamine.
