On 8 January 2026, a 29-year-old Singaporean woman arrested by officers from the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) for suspected drug trafficking offences. Drugs including about 7,144g of cannabis were seized. The drugs seized are estimated to be worth more than $94,900 and could potentially feed the addiction of 1,110 abusers for a week.

2.         The woman was arrested in a room within a condominium unit in the vicinity of West Coast Way. During the operation, forced entry was effected as the woman refused to comply with lawful orders to grant officers access into the room. A search of the room recovered about 7,144g of cannabis, 169g of ‘Ice’, 9g of ketamine, 30g of ‘Ecstasy’, 30 Erimin-5 tablets and drug paraphernalia were seized.
