Woman Arrested and Over 3KG of Controlled Drugs Seized

Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers arrested a 39-year-old Singaporean woman for suspected drug activities on the evening of 23 November 2021. A total of about 479g of heroin, 546g of ‘Ice’, 2,183g of ketamine, and five strips of ‘Subutex’, with an estimated street value of $268,000, were seized during the operation. The seizure of 479g of heroin can feed the addiction of about 230 abusers for a week, while 546g of ‘Ice’ is sufficient to feed the addiction of about 310 abusers for a week.
