<!-- story content : start --> EIGHTY-FOUR foreigners were arrested in the forested areas along Yishun Avenue 6 in a joint operation carried out by the police and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on Wednesday. The suspects - 67 men and 17 women - are believed to have used the cover of the forest for various illicit activities such as vice and gambling. Officers from the Ang Mo Kio Police Division, Criminal Investigation Department, Gurkha Contingent and the ICA raided the forested areas - designed a protected zone - on Monday morning. The suspects of various nationalities include Thais, Chinese, Bangladeshis and Myanmese.
Commander of Ang Mo Kio Police Division HQ, Deputy Assistant Commissioner of Police Hsu Sin Yun, said of the successful operation: 'We will not tolerate any form of criminal activity. Operators who think they can get away with their illicit activities by operating under the cover of forested areas are sadly mistaken. 'The Police will come down hard on such activities and weed them out wherever they may be.' Investigations are currently ongoing Offenders who contravened the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act can be fined $1,000 or face up to two years jail or imprisonment or both.
