SINGAPORE: Four suspected drug abusers were arrested and drugs worth more than S$288,000 seized in an operation by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) on Monday afternoon (Apr 16).
The drugs seized consisted of about 2kg of heroin, 1kg of cannabis and 870g of Ice, CNB said in a news release on Tuesday.
Officers arrested one of the suspected drug traffickers, a Singaporean man, and his female companion, a suspected drug abuser, near a carpark at Ubi Avenue 2. He had put up a "violent struggle to resist arrest" and officers had to subdue him, CNB said.
A jackknife was taken from him and heroin, cannabis and Ice were later recovered from a car.
