(Photo: CNB) prevnext THUMBNAIL ENLARGE CAPTION SINGAPORE: Anti-narcotics officers seized about 12 kilogrammes of heroin with a street value of more than S$1.2 million on Wednesday. A suspected drug trafficker was also arrested. The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said that had the heroin flowed onto the streets, it was enough to supply one straw per day to more than 1,300 abusers for a month. CNB said it targeted a Singaporean drug trafficker suspected of distributing heroin in the local market. CNB officers believed he would be receiving a fresh consignment of drugs from a neighbouring country. Officers then deployed themselves in the Tagore area in Upper Thomson and spotted the suspect at around 10.30pm. The 46-year-old Singaporean tried to evade arrest by driving his car up the pedestrian walkway. In the process, he hit and damaged a few CNB vehicles as well as a taxi parked along the road. CNB said he also put up a violent struggle while being arrested. It said investigations are ongoing, and the suspect may face the death penalty, if convicted. - CNA/ec Quote Yaba tablets worth over S$540,000 seized 21 NOVEMBER SINGAPORE — More than 21,000 Yaba, or methamphetamine, tablets were seized at Woodlands Checkpoint on Tuesday night — the largest seizure of its kind in 14 years. A 51-year-old man, a Thai national, was caught with the drugs, which are estimated to be worth more than S$540,000. Immigration and Checkpoints Authority officers were checking a Thailand-registered car driven by the suspect when they found four black packages containing drugs hidden behind the glove compartment. The driver was arrested. If convicted, he may face the death penalty. Central Narcotics Bureau officers subsequently arrested three suspects — two Malaysian men and one Singaporean woman — who may be connected to the Thai national. Investigations are ongoing. CHANNEL NEWSASIA Quote $48 million in cocaine found washed up on Japanese beach By Lindsay Jolivet | Daily Buzz – 8 hours ago Unusual cargo washed up on the shores of a Japanese beach this week: $48 million worth of cocaine. The Sydney Daily Telegraph reported an elderly resident in the city of Yokosuka stumbled across the drugs, which were stored inside four backpacks taped together with lit-up markers and a buoy. The local contacted police, who arrived to investigate. Kotaku cites the heap of cocaine — about 80 kg worth — as the largest drug seizure in the country's history, by value. Someone on a boat off shore has a palm to his forehead right now; the Daily Telegraph reported authorities suspect traffickers travelling by sea must have lost the drugs on their journey. Japan and much of Asia are typically thought to be areas with fairly low drug use, but some sources, including the World Drug Report, indicate certain drugs are becoming more prevalent. This isn't the first haul of illegal substances to float right under police noses; a boat filled with about 11 bails of marijuana washed ashore in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. in September, making headlines because it was mysteriously absent of passengers. In May, two men in California were arrested after police found their boat, which contained almost a ton worth of marijuana and other drugs, according to ABC News. They reportedly tried to hide in the bushes before they were caught. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
