: ~$1.4 MILLION WORTH OF DRUGS SEIZED, ENOUGH TO FEED 6,200 DRUG ABUSERS FOR A WEEK

On 7 November, CNB conducted an operation and seized a large amount of drugs, including he**in, cannabis and ‘Ice’. The drugs seized, estimated to be worth about $1.4 million, could feed the addiction of 6,200 drug abusers for a week.

In the evening hours of 7 November, a 32-year-old man was arrested at the void deck of a residential block near Plantation Crescent while a residential unit of the same block was raided and a 44-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman within the unit were arrested. All three are Singaporeans.

About 1,027g of cannabis and 513g of ‘Ice’ were recovered from the 32-year-old man and a search of the unit led to the recovery of about 3,223g of cannabis, 7,626g of he**in, 2,339g of ‘Ice’, 235g of ‘Ecstasy’, five bottles of methadone, 2,590 Erimin-5 tablets and cash amounting to $9,250.

A subsequent search of a car that was driven by the 44-year-old man found 95g of cannabis, 477g of he**in, 169g of ‘Ice’ and three bottles of methadone.

DAC Aaron Tang, Director of Intelligence Division, said: “The efforts of the CNB officers in this operation had prevented a large haul of drugs from flowing into the streets, which if not stopped, would have impacted the lives of thousands of individuals. The harm and misery that drugs inflict on society is far-reaching. Drugs do not just affect an individual, it also destroys the lives of their families and loved ones. CNB will continue to hunt down these drug traffickers and neutralise them to stem the tide of drugs.”

Investigations into the drug activities of the arrested suspects are ongoing.
