SINGAPORE: A 45-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday (Apr 17) for suspected drug trafficking, with an estimated $286,000 (US$210,000) worth of drugs seized during the operation.
The haul comprised about 2,682g of heroin, 20g of Ecstasy, 10g of Ice, 10g of cannabis and two Erimin-5 tablets, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said on Wednesday.
The Singaporean man was arrested near MacPherson Lane on Wednesday morning, it added.
"Officers seized a black pouch slung across the man’s body which was later found to contain about 239g of heroin," read the news release.
CNB officers then proceeded to raid the man's hideout located near Jalan Chengkek and seized 2,443g of heroin, 20g of Ecstasy, 10g of Ice, 10g of cannabis and two Erimin-5 tablets.
The seized drugs can feed the addiction of about 1,280 abusers for a week, said CNB.
Anyone found guilty of trafficking more than 15g of heroin may face the mandatory death penalty.
Investigations into the drug activities of the suspect are ongoing, CNB added.
