How were they caught? By ICA @ SingPost, which intercepted their delivery packages containing marijuana related glassware, and reported to CNB.

According to a joint press release by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) and Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), the two Singaporeans (a man and a woman) were arrested within a HDB flat which contained, among other things, a makeshift greenhouse that had been erected for cultivating two pots of cannabis plants.

Detection of glass apparatuses at Singpost Centre led to their arrest
The press release further stated that the arrest of the two suspects followed the detection of glass apparatuses by ICA officers at the Parcel Post Section of SingPost Centre.
The glass apparatuses were suspected to be used for smoking drugs.
20 years’ prison for cultivating cannabis
Cannabis is classified as a Class A controlled drug under Singapore’s Misuse of Drugs Act.
As such, the penalty for the cultivation of cannabis is a jail term of 20 years, a fine of S$40,000, or both.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
