Anti-narcotics officers arrested a Singaporean man on Tuesday for allegedly attempting to smuggle 558g of Ice and 100 Ecstasy tablets into Singapore from Malaysia.
In the second arrest made at Woodlands Checkpoint within a week, the 27-year-old suspect's car was stopped for security checks when his loot was uncovered.
Officers found a detergent box in the boot of the suspect's Singapore-registered car containing three bundles of crystalline substances believed to be 554g of Ice and 100 Ecstasy tablets. Another 4g of Ice was found in a staples box the suspect had concealed in his underwear.
They also uncovered a black pouch hidden in the car's centre console between the driver seat and front passenger seat which contained two improvised glass pipes, zip lock bags, and a scale.
