4kg Cannabis seized, Four arrested

15 December 2018

            In an operation conducted by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) on 14 December 2018, a total of about 4kg of cannabis, 92g of ‘Ice’ and 56g of new psychoactive substances (NPS) were seized and four suspected drug offenders arrested.


2          In the afternoon of 14 December, CNB officers were deployed in the vicinity of Hougang Avenue 7 and followed a 31-year-old Singaporean male to a medical facility in the vicinity of Keng Lee Road. The suspect was seen meeting up with a 26-year-old Singaporean male and a 24-year-old Malaysian male suspect. Shortly after, the 26-year-old Singaporean departed in a taxi, while the 31-year-old Singaporean and the 24-year-old Malaysian left the medical facility together in a Malaysia-registered car.

3          At an opportune moment, CNB officers from the Special Task Force intercepted the Malaysia-registered car along Keng Lee Road and moved in to arrest the 2 suspects.  A total of about 1.88kg of cannabis was recovered from within the car.  The drugs were placed on the front passenger seat floorboard, where the 31-year-old Singaporean was seated.  Cash amounting to S$1,100 was recovered from the 24-year-old Malaysian.  Officers proceeded to raid the residential unit of the 31-year-old Singaporean in Hougang.  From within the unit, another 2.13kg of cannabis, 92g of ‘Ice’ and 56g of NPS were recovered.
