CNB part of multilateral drug bust that seized 110kg of Ice from syndicate
The Straits Times
|September 23, 2025
Almost 110kg of methamphetamine was seized in a five-country operation to disrupt a transnational drug trafficking syndicate.
The drugs, also known as Ice, are believed to have come from Mexico, and were imported into the United States for delivery to more lucrative markets in the Asia-Pacific region, according to a joint statement by seven enforcement agencies from the five countries on Sept 22.
The anti-drug bust was the result of cooperation and intelligence sharing by agencies from the US, Singapore, Brunei, New Zealand and Australia, said the statement.
In April, Singapore's Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) intercepted and seized parcels containing more than 10kg of Ice, following a tip-off. The parcels were believed to have come from the US and were bound for New Zealand via Singapore, with CNB also identifying similar parcels bound for New Zealand and Australia.
