A total of eight men and 12 women, aged between 24 and 55, were arrested for various offences, following enforcement operations conducted in Joo Chiat and Geylang on Jun. 20 and 27, 2025.
Another four men and two women, aged between 33 and 69, are assisting with investigations.
The operations were led by Bedok Police Division, supported by officers from the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
Following raids at the public entertainment outlets and hair salons, 12 women, aged between 32 and 50, were arrested for working without a valid work pass at the public entertainment outlets in Geylang and Joo Chiat.
Fire safety non-compliances were also observed at one of the outlets in Geylang.
These included non-maintenance of fire safety provisions, such as fire extinguishers and hose reel, and obstructions to emergency escape routes.
One hair salon along Geylang Road was found providing massage services without a valid licence, and two other hair salons were found providing massage services beyond the stipulated operating hours.
All three outlets are being investigated under the Massage Establishments Act 2017.
Two public entertainment outlets in Joo Chiat were found to have their performing artistes mingling with patrons, and are being investigated under the Public Entertainment Act 1985.
Traffic Police (TP) officers also conducted anti-drink driving enforcement checks along roads in the area.
These operations are part of SPF’s continuous efforts to clamp down on regulatory offences and illegal activities such as illegal touting, "ice" and drug-related activities in Joo Chiat and Geylang.
Seven motorists, aged between 24 and 55, were arrested for drink-driving.
Among those arrested for drink-driving was a 26-year-old man who was found to be driving a car without a valid driving licence and using a motor vehicle without insurance coverage under.
During the enforcement operation, a 48-year-old male motorcyclist was found to have duty-unpaid cigarettes, and e-vaporisers and related components in his possession.
He was also arrested for suspected drug-related offences.
The police K-9 Unit was observed at the scene.
The suspected drug-related offences have been referred to CNB, while the duty-unpaid cigarettes and e-vaporisers related findings have been referred to Singapore Customs and Health Sciences Authority (HSA), respectively.
Commander of Bedok Police Division, Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Justin Wong said: “The operations show the Police’s commitment to stamp out illegal activities. Together with our law enforcement partners, we will work to keep the Geylang and Joo Chiat areas safe and secure."
"The police will take firm action against those who blatantly disregard the law.”
