6 Singaporeans were arrested by CNB officers for suspected drug trafficking offences on 29 and 30 November 2022.
More than 8kg of cannabis, 415g of heroin and other substances with an estimated street value of $304,000, were seized during the operation.
The seizure of 8,194g of cannabis can feed the addiction of about 1,160 cannabis abusers for a week, while the seizure of 415g of heroin can feed the addiction of about 200 heroin abusers for a week.
In the evening of 29 November, CNB officers arrested a 24-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman, where about 4.9kg of cannabis was found in their vehicle.
That same evening, the man and woman were escorted to their hideout in a condominium at Upper Paya Lebar Road, where a 46-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman were arrested. A 54-year-old man who returned to the hideout later that evening was also arrested. About 3.3kg of cannabis, 382g of heroin and other drugs were found.
Another suspect, a 41-year-old man, was subsequently arrested at the ground floor of the same condominium block. CNB officers later escorted him to his residence located in the vicinity of Anchorvale Road, where controlled drugs were also found.
Under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973, anyone found guilty of trafficking more than 15g of pure heroin (diamorphine), 250g of methamphetamine or 500g of cannabis may face the mandatory death penalty.
Investigations into the drug activities of all arrested suspects are ongoing.
