SINGAPORE: The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) in Singapore has made their biggest heroin bust this year, with a haul weighing nearly 1.7 kg.

Besides heroin, psychotropic drugs such as Ketamine and Erimin-5 were also seized in an island-wide operation that lasted two days (June 12-13).

The drugs have a street value of almost S$500,000.

The CNB arrested a drug syndicate leader and seven of his associates, including Chinese and Malaysian nationals.

Also nabbed were 21 customers of the drug gang.

Two motor vehicles and cash amounting to S$10,000 were also seized during the operation. - CNA/yy
