WANTED
When Sergeant Tan Wei Kang screened the man s particulars, the system showed he was wanted for failing to report for a urine test under the Central Narcotics Bureau.
Sgt Tan then discreetly lodged a report to request backup officers be sent to the police post.
But the man sensed something was amiss after noticing Sgt Tan using his phone, Deputy Public Prosecutor Phoebe Tan said.
His wife later said she needed to use the toilet and handed the baby to her husband as an officer escorted her to a restroom.
The man then said his baby needed some fresh air and walked out of the police post, with Senior Staff Sgt Mohamed Nasrudin Shahul Hameed and Sgt Tan tailing him.
