SINGAPORE: A total of nearly 2kg of cannabis and other drugs were seized on Tuesday, following two separate raids led by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB).
In a press release on Wednesday, the CNB said the drugs seized are estimated to be worth more than S$64,000. Supported by the Singapore Police Force, three suspected drug traffickers were also arrested during the raids.
The first raid was conducted on Tuesday afternoon at a unit in Marsiling. Two suspected drug traffickers, both Singaporean males aged 41 and 42, were arrested within the unit. About 940g of cannabis and small amounts of “Ice” and heroin were recovered from the unit.
The second raid was at Woodlands on the same day. Officers arrested a suspected drug trafficker, a 29-year-old Singaporean male, at one of the units. About 1kg of cannabis and an assortment of other drugs were recovered from that unit.
Those convicted of trafficking in more than 500g of cannabis may face the death penalty.
Investigations into the drug activities of the arrested suspects are ongoing, said CNB.
