SINGAPORE — A 32-year-old Singaporean man was arrested on Tuesday afternoon (Feb 21) for suspected drug trafficking offences, said the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB).
In a media release on Thursday, CNB said close to 5kg of drugs, with an estimated street value of S$182,000, were seized during an operation.
The amount of cannabis and heroin seized was enough to feed the addiction of about 300 and 460 abusers respectively for a week, added CNB. Superintendent William Tan, CNB’s senior assistant director of intelligence operations, said: “Despite knowing the harms of drugs, drug traffickers continue to peddle drugs and profit at the expense of people’s lives and livelihoods.
Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, it is an offence for anyone to traffic or offer to traffic in a controlled drug.
