Drug raids have netted around $800,000 worth of narcotics, including more than 11kg of heroin, and 10 arrests. Those arrested were all Singaporeans – nine men and one woman – aged between 28 and 62.

Apart from the heroin, Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers seized 101g of methamphetamine, also known as Ice, 30 ecstasy tablets and fragments, one Erimin-5 tablet and $18,400 in cash.

In one raid on Thursday, two CNB officers observed two men in Woodlands Avenue 6 getting into a private-hire vehicle. The duo, aged 43 and 51, were arrested when they alighted in Woodlands Street 13.

Officers found 12 packets containing 90g of heroin and seven packets with 87.5g of Ice on the 43-year-old. A search of the vehicle unearthed 50 packets containing 375g of heroin, as well as $8,400 in cash.

A reader of The Straits Times, who heard shouts from his window, saw what he believed to be two plainclothes officers trying to pin down a man. Photos given to ST show another suspect sitting slumped against the wall while another man keeps watch over him. The two were later arrested.
