THE Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) on June 21 arrested two drug traffickers in separate instances. A total of approximately 490g of heroin and five grammes of methamphetamine or 'ice' worth more than $75,000 was seized.
The first was a 53 year-old male that has been under surveillance. CNB officers nabbed him at around 4.40pm at a carpark around his block as he was leaving his unit along Bendemeer Road.
Found in his unit was 95g of heroin and another 310g were separately stashed in three motorcycle boxes fitted on bicycles, recovered with his cooperation.
In the second case, CNB officers arrested a 54-year-old, his 48-year-old associate, and two suspected drug abusers, aged 43 and 51.
Seized were 85g of heroin, five grammes of methamphetamine and many utensils meant for drug consumption. The estimated street value for the drugs stands at about $14,200.
The two suspected traffickers will be investigated under the Misuse of Drugs Act. If convicted, they both may face the death penalty.
