Between April 10 to 14, 2022, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) apprehended 84 alleged drug offenders in an island-wide narcotics operation. Approximately 231g of heroin, 304g of ‘Ice,’ 36g of ketamine, 113 ‘Ecstasy’ pills, eight Erimin-5 tablets, and 16 bottles of liquid suspected to contain GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) were recovered during the operation. These substances are worth more than $70,000 on the black market.
Hougang, Telok Blangah, North Bridge Road, Jalan Sultan, Ang Mo Kio and Yishun were among the locations covered during this island-wide operation.
A 16-year-old male Singaporean was arrested for alleged drug misuse.

On 11 April afternoon, CNB officers arrested two Singaporeans, a 27-year-old male and an 18-year-old woman, in the vicinity of North Bridge Road for suspected drug crimes. A total of 102g of ‘Ice’ and numerous drug paraphernalia were seized from the man’s car.
Officers also raided the man’s alleged hideaway near Jalan Sultan, and other drug paraphernalia was found.
Ang Mo Kio Ave 10
CNB officers searched a residence along Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 on the morning of April 12 and arrested a 55-year-old Singaporean man for alleged narcotics trafficking.

CNB executed a follow-up operation on the same day to arrest the 55-year-narcotics old’s clientele. Two Singaporean males, aged 44 and 45, were later apprehended in the same area.
