The drugs are estimated to be worth about S$343,000 in total.
They could feed the addiction of about 1,550 drug abusers for a week, CNB said.
A Singaporean couple was also in the unit — a 38-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man.
They were arrested at the scene for suspected drug offences.
Investigations into their alleged drug activities are ongoing.
