Drugs worth S$85,000

According to CNB, a total of about 2,280g of cannabis, 104g of ketamine and 10 LSD stamps were seized during the operations.

The drugs add up to an estimated street value of S$85,000.

CNB said the seizure of 2,280g of cannabis can feed the addiction of about 330 abusers for a week.

Investigations into the drug activities of all arrested suspects are ongoing.

In Singapore, anyone found guilty of trafficking more than 500g of cannabis may face the mandatory death penalty.
