On Tuesday (11 Aug) evening, a unit on Geylang Lorong 4 was raid by the CNB.
There, they found 33 cartons and 6 packs of contraband cigarettes. They also found 3 packets containing about 45g of ‘Ice’ in a locker.
They arrested 3 people: a 60-year-old Singaporean, 49-year-old Singaporean and 40-year-old Malaysian, all men.
Location 2: Car near Jalan Besar
Next, they arrested 2 men aged 25 and 35 — both Singaporeans.
They were found in a car driven by the 25-year-old near Jalan Besar.
The 25-year-old had cash amounting to $7,600, while the 35-year-old had an assortment of drugs:
- About 7g of ‘Ice’
- About 9g of heroin
- 1,000 Erimin-5 tablets

Location 3: Hotel in Beach Road
The CNB officers then brought the 25-year-old man to a hotel near Beach Road.
There, they found:
- About 556g of ‘Ice’
- 13,970 Erimin-5 tablets
- About 2g of ketamine
They also found a 27-year-old Singaporean woman, and arrested her.
Don’t do drugs
Although the almost 15,000 Erimin-5 tablets will surely raise eyebrows, the CNB focused on the large amount of ‘Ice’ it seized.
The 608g of ‘Ice’ is enough to sustain about 347 drug abusers for 1 week, it said.
While investigations into the 6 suspects are ongoing, the message from the latest raid is clear: Don’t do drugs.
