Singapore Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers arrested four male foreign nationals, aged between 24 to 36, for drug offenses on October 22.

On Saturday, October 25, CNB said in a news release that that an operation was carried out at a residential lodging for foreign workers in Woodlands Avenue 1 on the morning of October 22 based on information received.

A 32-year-old man was arrested for drug trafficking offenses as a result of the operation. For drug abuse, three more people, aged 24, 30, and 36, were taken into custody.

The men and their living space were searched, and 68g of cannabis, 18g of ice, 29 "Yaba" tablets, and other drug paraphernalia were seized.

Commanding officer of enforcement, Superintendent Royce Chua, said, "CNB regularly engages the community, which includes our migrant worker community, to raise awareness on the harms of drugs and Singapore's zero-tolerance stance against drugs."

He further added that CNB will not hesitate to take tough enforcement action against drug traffickers and offenders, and will spare no effort to detect, disrupt and dismantle drug operations to keep Singapore safe.

Meanwhile, the suspects are still being looked into.
