CNA – Three Singaporean men, including a 21-year-old, have been arrested by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) during a raid which led to the seizure of nearly nine kilogrammes of illicit drugs as well as cash amounting to SGD40,000.

The drugs, with an estimated street value of SGD726,000, comprised of 3,795 grammes (g) of cannabis, 2,161g of Ice, 474g of heroin, 220g of cocaine, 167g of ketamine, more than 774g of ecstasy tablets and 4,887 Erimin-5 tablets, CNB said yesterday. The amount of cannabis and Ice seized can feed the addiction of about 540 abusers and 1,230 abusers respectively for a week, it added.

The three suspects, aged 21, 28 and 31, were arrested when officers raided a residential unit in a private residential enclave around Upper Serangoon Road on Friday.
