The Centra Narcotic Bureau (CNB) posted an update on Facebook, saying that two men have been arrested for suspected drug offences.
CNB’s statement reads:
“In a recent op, CNB officers arrested two men aged 37 and 59 for suspected illegal drug activities.
A total of about 1,867g of heroin, 216g of ‘Ice’, 68 ‘Ecstasy’ tablets and 12 Erimin-5 tablets, worth a total estimated street value of $167,000, were also seized.
Superintendent Lim Sze Yuk, Commanding Officer of Enforcement ‘G’ Division, said: “Illicit drugs are harmful, addictive, and can destroy lives, families and communities. This is why we have strict laws in Singapore against the trafficking, possession, consumption, and import or export of illicit drugs. CNB officers will continue to take rigorous enforcement and launch well-timed operations to keep the streets of Singapore safe from drug traffickers and syndicates.”
Investigations into the drug activities of all arrested suspects are ongoing.
1.8kg of heroin can feed the addiction of about 890 abusers for a week, while 216g of ‘Ice’ is sufficient to feed the addiction of about 120 abusers for a week.”
