Drugs with an estimated street value of $354,000 were seized during the operation conducted from May 5 to 19, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said on Friday.

The controlled drugs included 1.7kg of heroin, 1.37kg of Ice, or methamphetamine, 348g of cannabis, 20g of ketamine, 133 Ecstasy tablets weighing about 60g, 50 Erimin-5 tablets, 74 Tapendatol tablets, and four bottles of liquid suspected to contain GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate).

A person found guilty of trafficking more than 15g of pure heroin faces the mandatory death penalty.

On May 5, CNB officers arrested two Singaporeans, a 37-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman, for suspected drug trafficking offences in a hotel room in Geylang Road.
