SINGAPORE – A raid on Thursday (September 3) saw the seizure of drugs worth approximately $ 410,000 and the recovery of weapons such as knives and a baseball bat.

Authorities also found $ 15,830 in cash in the residential unit at Geylang Lorong 27.

In a statement on Friday, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said that together with the Singapore Police, its officers arrested two Singaporean men, aged 28 and 43, for alleged drug-related activities.

The officers had to break into the unit after their entry orders were not obeyed.

“When the officers approached to arrest the two men, they both fought violently and force was used to subdue them,” CNB said.

Approximately 1,302 g of methamphetamine, also known as ice, 56 g of heroin, 1,000 tablets of Erimin-5 and seven tablets of ecstasy were found in the home, along with numerous drug paraphernalia.

The officers also seized weapons, including a parang, a baseball bat and a “karambit” knife, which is shaped like a claw.

Both men are being investigated for drug-related activities and possession of offensive weapons.

The CNB said the total amount of ice seized in the operation is enough to fuel the addiction of about 744 abusers for a week.
