SINGAPORE – Two Malaysian men were arrested after they attempted to evade arrival clearance at Tuas Checkpoint on Feb 22.
A total of 97g of heroin, 69g of methamphetamine or “Ice”, three Erimin-5 tablets, 27 tablets believed to contain controlled drugs, and various drug paraphernalia were found on the driver and in a pouch under the front passenger seat.
The driver also did not have a valid travel document at the time.
In a media statement on Feb 25, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said that officers at Tuas Checkpoint had seen the car driving towards the arrival motorcycle zone at about 2.45pm on Feb 22, before it made an unauthorised U-turn at the entrance.
The motorist then drove against the flow of arriving traffic towards Malaysia, posing a danger to other road users.
