Drugs seized included about 117g of heroin, 14g of 'Ice', 25g of cannabis and a small amount of ketamine.

In an anti-drug raid in Beach Road, CNB officers arrested two suspected drug abusers, a 58-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman, both Singaporeans.

Various drug paraphernalia, including drug-taking utensils, were recovered from within the HDB unit where both suspects were in. Both persons are being investigated for drug consumption.

In another raid in Ang Mo Kio, the officers arrested a 47-year-old man for suspicion of drug consumption, and a couple who sold the man drugs.

The man was arrested soon after his purchase, while the couple were followed by officers and arrested at Marymount Road. Officers recovered 46g of heroin from the woman's handbag and 5g of heroin from the man's wallet.

The officers then raided the hotel room which they had been staying in Balestier and recovered another 15g of heroin.

The man is being investigated for drug trafficking. If convicted, he may face a minimum sentence of 5 years' imprisonment and 5 strokes of the cane. The woman is being investigated for drug consumption.
