The case is being investigated under Section 39A(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
Unverified details have since circulated online, including claims that the suspect was driving a Ferrari at the time of the arrest.
A document resembling an official police report has also surfaced on social media, stating that 3.16g of heroin were found in a packet labelled "MOTMOD", along with straws, foil, and small containers.
