5 S’poreans arrested in anti-drug busts in a day; drugs worth $360,000 seized
SINGAPORE – Five suspected drug offenders, including a 16-year-old, were arrested in anti-drug operations in two separate anti-drug busts conducted on Monday, the Central Narcotics Bureau said on Wednesday.
The officers then raided a flat in the same block that the man was seen leaving earlier and arrested three occupants aged 16, 17 and 39 for suspected drug offences. About 1,841g of heroin, 331g of Ice, 43 Ecstasy tablets, 162 Erimin-5 tablets, various drug paraphernalia and offensive weapons were seized from within the unit.
It is also an offence to carry out or to offer to perform any act preparatory to or for the purpose of trafficking in a controlled drug. Illicit drugs, including cannabis, are harmful, addictive and destroy lives, families and communities, CNB said.
