A major drug sting by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) has led to the seizure of close to $1 million in drugs in Braddell View, and the arrest of 102 people islandwide, including a father-and-son pair.
About 20.4kg of cannabis was seized from two places in a Braddell View development, following the arrest of a Malaysian man-aged 24. It is one of the largest hauls of the drug in recent years.
In March last year, CNB officers seized 20.5kg of cannabis in a drug bust, the largest haul in 14 years at the time. A month later, they seized a record 24kg of cannabis, the biggest haul in 25 years.
Superintendent Aaron Tang, director of the intelligence division at the CNB, said at a press conference yesterday: “Singapore is not a drug-producing country, so drugs come from overseas... (Those) on the upper echelons of the syndicate will be based overseas to supply drugs to Singapore.”
When asked how the drugs were able to enter Singapore, Assistant Commissioner Leon Chan, deputy director of CNB (operations), said the case is still under investigation.
