SINGAPORE - A Central Narcotics Bureau officer convicted of lodging two false reports out of sheer laziness was sentenced to three months' jail on Tuesday.
Low Vins, 26, had been found guilty after a three-day trial, of giving false information to a narcotics officer at Bedok police division headquarters, by lying that officers had conducted house visits at the homes of two drug offenders.
He is out on $20,000 bail, pending an appeal.
The court heard that as the officer in charge of the cases against the two offenders - Sim Soon Lee and Soh Hock Tuan, it was Low's job to ensure that once investigations were complete, the duo was detained and taken to the Drug Rehabilitation Centre.
