The Central Narcotics Bureau on March 4 seized a large amount of heroin and cannabis in two raids and arrested four suspected drug traffickers, all Singaporeans.

The drugs seized had an estimated worth of more than $619,000 and could potentially feed the addiction of about 2,630 abusers for a week.

CNB officers raided a room at a hotel in the vicinity of Havelock Road and arrested a 21-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man.

They had about 340g of heroin, 103g of Ecstasy, 27g of Ice, five Erimin-5 tablets in the hotel room and about 2,758g of heroin and 515g of Ice in their rented car.

In a separate raid on the same day, CNB officers arrested a 27-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man at a carpark in the vicinity of Kaki Bukit Road 3.

The woman had about 11g of Ice in the car while the man had in a nearby commercial unit about 4.99kg of cannabis, 279g of ketamine, 222g of Ice, 115g of Ecstasy, 250 LSD stamps and numerous vape devices, cartridges and edibles suspected to contain THC.

"CNB has been relentless in taking down drug traffickers and preventing them from inflicting harm and misery on our community," said Deputy Assistant Commissioner Aaron Tang, director of the Intelligence Division,.

"To those that choose to ignore our warnings - let these two operations be a stern reminder that if you continue to traffic in drugs, we will come for you."
