Over a 5-day period starting from Saturday January 14, 2012, CNB seized a sizeable amount of drugs which were to be distributed over the upcoming holiday.
A total haul of about 3.4kg of heroin, 1kg of ketamine and 5,000 Erimin-5 tablets were seized, estimated to be worth approximately $590,000.
Dismantling a drug syndicate
CNB conducted investigations into a major drug trafficking syndicate which had sought to stock up sizeable amounts of heroin.
The syndicate is suspected to be distributing heroin around various parts of Singapore.
At about 2pm on Jan 18, 2012, two suspected drug traffickers from the syndicate - male Singaporeans aged 36 years and 53 years - were spotted in a silver-coloured car in Ang Mo Kio.
CNB officers tailed them to Serangoon North, where the 53-year-old suspect was seen alighting with a black sling bag at the entrance of a carpark.
When the officers moved in to arrest him, he attempted to flee but was successfully apprehended after a short chase.
A big bundle in the sling back was found to contain approximately 920 grammes of heroin, estimated to be worth $138,000.
Meanwhile, CNB officers also moved in to arrest the 36-year-old suspect at another part of the carpark. The drug suspect struggled violently and resisted arrest but he was eventually subdued by the officers.
Cash amounting to about $6,580 was also recovered from the two suspected drug traffickers. They will be investigated for drug trafficking. If convicted, they may face the death penalty.
On January 14, 2012, CNB had arrested another male Singaporean who is suspected to be a member of the same syndicate, and believed to be distributing large amounts of heroin.
This male drug trafficker was arrested with approximately 2,440 grammes of heroin, estimated to be worth approximately $366,000.
He is being remanded for further investigation. If convicted, he may face the death penalty.
Large haul of drugs intercepted at Woodlands Checkpoint
A male Singaporean driving a Singapore-registered car was stopped as part of a routine search by enforcement agencies stationed at the Woodlands Checkpoint on January 17.
Prior to searching the vehicle, CNB officers conducted a routine questioning of the driver and noticed that he appeared somewhat nervous.
Sensing that something was amiss, the officers thoroughly searched the vehicle and recovered about 5,000 Erimin-5 tablets hidden underneath a cushioned seat cover on the front passenger seat. An additional 1kg of ketamine was found in the rear pocket of the front passenger seat.
The drugs seized from the vehicle are estimated to be worth almost $85,000.
The male Singaporean is being investigated for the offence of importation of controlled drugs. If convicted, he may face a maximum of 30 years imprisonment or imprisonment for life and 15 strokes of the cane.
