The Singapore Police Force said in a news release on 23 September that a roadblock was set up along Sembawang Road on 22 September, by officers from Woodlands Police Division.
A 19-year-old driver was instructed to stop his car for checks by officers at the roadblock at about 3.30am, but he failed to stop and instead, reversed his vehicle and sped away.
The identity of the driver was later established through the use of CCTV, police camera images and ground enquiries.
He was subsequently arrested about 18 hours after the incident, for his suspected involvement in a case of roadblock evasion.
The man was also found with a scheduled weapon of a knuckle duster during preliminary investigations and had also driven the vehicle without a valid driver’s license.
His urine test also came out positive for controlled drugs and will be referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau for follow-up investigations.
He will be charged in court today with evading a road block and possessing a scheduled weapon.
