Drugs worth an estimated $305,000, including about 3.14kg of cannabis, were seized in a CNB operation conducted on 9 September 2024, which saw the arrest of a 34-year-old Malaysian man for suspected drug trafficking.

2. On the night of 9 September, CNB officers arrested a 34-year-old Malaysian man in the vicinity of Chin Swee Road. A search of the car the man was driving saw the recovery of about 264g of ‘Ice’, 1.88kg of heroin and 3.14kg of cannabis. The haul of drugs seized in this operation can feed the addiction of about 1,500 abusers for a week.

Sealed bags with powders, chunks, and pressed squares, one with skull motif and another with a fast food logo.
