SINGAPORE: Three men were arrested for suspected drug trafficking activities on Monday (May 3) in a Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) operation.

A total of about 3,200g of heroin and 1,028g of Ice were seized across multiple locations in Singapore, said CNB in a news release on Wednesday. The drugs seized were estimated to be worth close to S$460,000.

Besides the drugs, cash amounting to S$7,837 was also seized.

CNB officers intercepted a vehicle in the vicinity of Woodlands Avenue 8 in the early evening of May 3 and arrested a 19-year-old Singaporean man. Officers found about 1,720g of heroin and 1,028g of Ice concealed in Chinese tea packaging.

In a follow-up operation, the authorities also arrested a 55-year-old Singaporean man in the vicinity of Woodlands Industrial Park E3. A total of about 1,262g of heroin and cash amounting to S$3,837 were seized from him.
