A 28-year-old female suspect was also arrested at the unit.
Later, CNB officers carried out a search of the man’s car and found an additional 1.5kg of heroin.

CNB shared that the heroin seized was enough to “feed the addiction” of 715 addicts for the course of a week.
Similarly, the 1.2kg of ‘Ice’ is reportedly enough to feed 690 abusers over 7 days.
CNB is currently investigating the suspects’ drug activities.

Earlier in July, CNB also busted a bizarre case of concealment where $30,000 worth of drugs were hidden in pumpkins.
Keep Singapore drug-free
Kudos to CNB for their vigilance and their commitment to making Singapore a drug-free nation.
We hope those thinking of doing drugs would be deterred by such operations, however strong the temptation might be.
