As part of their latest island-wide operation, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) recently arrested two elderly Singaporeans, who were found in possession of more than 3kg of heroin, for drug-related offences.

3.75kg of heroin found in Woodlands flat

According to a press release dated Friday, March 8, CNB officers arrested a 61-year-old man and 62-year-old woman in the vicinity of Woodlands Drive 62.

This preceded a raid they conducted on the man's rented unit on Feb. 27.

They found 3.75kg of heroin, 89g of Ice, 54 Ecstasy pills, two Erimin-5 pills and 36 bottles of methadone in the unit.

Apart from drugs, CNB also discovered drug-smoking utensils, digital weighing scales and empty plastic sachets in the unit.

Officers also seized cash amounting to some S$16,840 from the man when they arrested him.

3.75kg of heroin is enough to feed the addiction of 1,786 abusers for one week.

Other than the 61-year-old man and the 62-year-old woman, a 45-year-old female suspect who was in the flat at the time of the raid was also arrested.

Investigations into the drug activities of all three arrested persons are ongoing.
