SINGAPORE - A crackdown on a suspected local drug dealer on Monday yielded a drug haul containing about 5kg of cannabis, as well as other drugs and weapons.
On Monday afternoon, Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers went to the area around Geylang Lorong 37 to keep watch on a 34-year-old Singaporean man, the alleged drug trafficker. They suspected he would be receiving a fresh batch of cannabis.
At about 4.20pm, a 45-year-old man, a suspected drug runner, was seen getting out of a van and placing a brown cardboard box beside a dustbin along Geylang Lorong 37, before leaving.
Within a few moments, the suspected dealer arrived in a car and drove off with the box.
