Shot fired by police officer in raid along Balestier Road; suspect in stable condition
www.todayonline.com
SINGAPORE — A raid at a Balestier Road house that was mounted to investigate a series of scams led to an officer firing a shot at a suspect, police said on Thursday (Nov 5).
The suspect, who was shot as he was trying to snatch the officer’s revolver, was wounded at his abdomen and was attended to by paramedics before being sent to the hospital while conscious.

He is currently in a stable condition, the police said in a statement.

A total of four suspects were found in the unit when three officers entered at 1am.
While inside the unit, a 36-year-old male suspect referred to as “B1” suddenly lunged at one of the officers and attacked him repeatedly, causing the officer to fall on the floor and bleed from his face, police said.

A second officer immediately warned B1 to stop his assault but this was to “no avail”, police added.
Another suspect, B2, a 22-year-old man, was then seen approaching the first officer, and the second officer assessed that he could join B1 in the attack.
The second officer immediately drew his revolver out of concern for the safety of his partner, warning B1 to stop the assault. B1 did not comply with his verbal warning and hit the first officer, who was on the floor.

B1 then suddenly tried to snatch the revolver from the second officer, police said.
“During the brawl, for his own safety and to prevent B1 from snatching his revolver, the second officer discharged one round from the revolver at B1,” the police said.
But this did not immediately stop B1 from his attempt to snatch the second officer's revolver and the struggle continued.
Both B1 and B2 were subsequently subdued by backup officers who arrived at the unit later.
The first officer suffered facial injuries, as well as injuries to his arm. The second officer sustained injuries to his hands and lips.
Both B1 and B2 were arrested for voluntarily causing hurt to deter a public servant from his duty, cheating and suspected drug consumption, on top of being wanted for cheating offences.
During a media briefing, the commander of Tanglin police division, Assistant Commissioner Cheong Chee Ming, said: “Police officers work in dynamic environments. There are many unknowns out there and the risks our officers face on a daily basis are very real. This incident is one of such”.
“Our officers have to be nimble and react to situations as they develop,” he said.
THE CHEATING OFFENCES
The two others who were in the Balestier unit were also arrested for their suspected involvement in the series of cheating cases that the officers were investigating.
They were a 33-year-old woman known as B3, who is B1's girlfriend, and a 23-year-old woman known as B4, who is B2’s girlfriend.
B3 and B4 were arrested for cheating and suspected drug consumption. B3 is also wanted for other cheating offences and failure to attend court.
Three others were also arrested in separate raids related to the series of cheating cases: An 18-year-old man, an 18-year-old woman and a 32-year-old man.
Through a series of syndicated scams, the seven suspects allegedly made use of victims’ particulars to apply for and purchase new handsets and phone lines from a telco.
They would then make the initial payment using fraudulently obtained credit card details and, after receiving the brand new handsets, would sell them for cash.
The telco purportedly incurred a loss of about S$43,000 from the handset sales, and the seven victims whose particulars were misused were also charged for the mobile phone subscriptions.
The police seized from the Balestier unit about S$20,000 in suspected criminal proceeds, as well as drugs and various drug paraphernalia were also seized.
They also seized 11 handsets, one laptop and one signature pad across two operations on Tuesday.
Police investigations are ongoing.

Uniformed, plainclothes mata, detectives get revolvers. Others get glock or sig I think. This one must ask @GoldenDragon or whoever is in the know.
