Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) seized about 1.1kg of heroin, 33g of Ice and 189 Erimin-5 tablets and arrested seven drug offenders in two separate operations on 9 April 2014. The street value of the total drug haul from the two operations is more than S$124,000. Both operations were done with the assistance of the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
At about 3.15pm on 9 April 2014, officers from CNB Supervision ‘G’ and Bedok Police Division were deployed to arrest a 54-year-old Singaporean male suspected drug trafficker at a Housing Development Board (HDB) block in Simei. At about 4pm, officers observed the 54-year-old leaving a unit on the tenth storey; and meeting up with a 32-year-old Malaysian male at the lift lobby on the same level. Both men parted ways shortly after.
The 32-year-old male left the HDB block and officers arrested him in the vicinity of a neighbouring block. A search was conducted and officers seized S$4,900 from him.
Another group of CNB officers continued to observe the unit of the 54-year-old. At about 7.20pm, CNB officers proceeded to raid the unit and arrested the 54-year-old. Drugs including about 976g of heroin, 189 Erimin-5 tablets and a small amount of Ice were seized from the unit. CNB officers also seized about S$5,600 in cash from the 54-year-old.
In addition, three other drug offenders were also arrested in the operation.
Separately, in a roadblock conducted by the Police in the Jalan Bahar vicinity, officers arrested a 41-year-old Singaporean male driver and his 39-year-old Singaporean female passenger at about 2.25am on 9 April. About 146g of heroin, 24g of Ice were seized from within the car. The duo was referred to CNB officers for investigation.
