Three Singaporean men, aged 20, 21 and 22 were arrested for suspected drug activities after more than 2kg of heroin was seized in a drug raid.
The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said on April 27 its officers arrested a 21-year-old man in the vicinity of Eunos Crescent on April 26 afternoon.
In follow-up operations, they arrested two other men, aged 20 and 22, believed to be the first man's associates.
Officers then escorted the 21-year-old man to a locked riser in the Eunos Crescent area.
They unlocked the riser using a key they found on him and uncovered 2.312kg of heroin.
The drugs had an estimated street value of S$162,000 and could feed the addiction of about 1,100 abusers for a week, said CNB.
"Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, it is an offence for a person, on his or her own behalf, or on behalf of any other person, whether or not that other person is in Singapore, to traffic in a controlled drug, offer to traffic in a controlled drug; or to do or offer to do any act preparatory to or for the purpose of trafficking in a controlled drug," said CNB in its news release.
Anyone found guilty of trafficking more than 15g of pure heroin (diamorphine) may face the mandatory death penalty.
Investigations are ongoing.
