SINGAPORE: A Singaporean is among five youths who were charged in court on Thursday with possession of cannabis.
The five, who are aged between 16 and 17, were among the 15 arrested in a Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) raid on September 7.
Briton national Morgan Brant Fletcher, French national Mathieu Maxime Gautron, Indian national Karan Vijay Chetan, South African Abraham Carel Greyling and Singaporean Kimberley Han Li Greenaway all face at least one charge each of drug possession.
The offences allegedly took place at various locations between September 6 and 7.
The five youths were said to have in their possession cannabis weighing between 0.02 grams and 0.66 grams.
The suspected drug trafficker, a male Singapore permanent resident, was believed to have peddled the drug mainly to youths and expatriates studying in international schools and working here.
Eleven of the drug abusers are foreign nationals from countries like the United States, United Kingdom, France, New Zealand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
The five youths will be back in court for further hearings on October 20.
If convicted, each could be jailed 10 years and fined S$20,000.
