Narcotics officers seized nearly 1kg of heroin worth about $137,000, hidden in what appeared to be packets of cheese balls, at the Woodlands Checkpoint on Sunday afternoon.

A 21-year-old Malaysian man was caught attempting to smuggle the drugs into Singapore by hiding them in his motorcycle.

The man, who is unemployed, was riding into Singapore at about 2.30pm on Sunday when narcotics officers decided to search his motorcycle in a routine check.

They discovered snack packets stuffed with 914g of heroin in the air filter compartment of his motorcycle.
