SINGAPORE – Authorities seized drugs with an estimated street value of $ 230,000 in a raid on Thursday (August 27) that saw five Singaporeans arrested, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said.
Approximately 550g of methamphetamine, also known as Ice, 291g of heroin and 2kg of cannabis were seized from operations at Ang Mo Kio Ave 5, Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 and Bukit Panjang Ring Road, CNB said on Friday.
The five Singaporeans were made up of four men and one woman between the ages of 26 and 50.
In a late-night raid on Thursday, CNB agents intercepted a car on 5 Ang Mo Kio Avenue and arrested two men, ages 30 and 50. A package containing 537 g of ice and a broken cigarette box containing 13 g of ice were seized from the vehicle.
The 30-year-old was taken to his residence near 10 Ang Mo Kio avenue, where a 26-year-old woman was found and arrested. A search of the apartment turned up three bags containing 291 g of heroin and a 1 kg package of cannabis.
In a follow-up operation, officers found 10 g of cannabis in a 47-year-old man, who was arrested on Bukit Panjang Ring Road.
Agents also raided a residential unit on the same block and arrested a 42-year-old man who allegedly threw a package out of the unit’s window before being arrested.
The package was later recovered by CNB and found to contain 965g of cannabis.
CNB said the total amount of ice seized was enough to fuel the addiction of about 314 abusers for a week, while the cannabis seized could have fueled the addiction of about 287 abusers for a week.
Investigations are ongoing.
