Poly-drug Trafficker Arrested in River Valley

In one of the cases in this latest island-wide operation, CNB officers arrested a suspected poly-drug trafficker who was dealing in a cocktail of controlled drugs.  On the night of 6 July 2015, CNB officers deployed in the vicinity of River Valley Close arrested a suspected drug trafficker at a carpark in the area.  A search on the 31-year-old male Singaporean recovered a small amount of ‘Ice’ and 100 ‘Ecstasy’ tablets.  The 31-year-old male was brought to the unit he rented at a private apartment in the area and within the unit, CNB officers arrested a 21-year-old female Singaporean suspected drug abuser.  A search of the female’s belongings recovered a small amount of ‘Ice’ and cannabis and two ‘Ecstasy’ tablets.
