81 drug offenders arrested in 4-day CNB anti-drug operation

Officers entered the unit by force, as occupants refused to open the door. At the same time, officers spotted objects being thrown out of the unit’s window, which were later found to be drug paraphernalia.

Three men, aged 40, 46 and 26, and a woman, aged 36, were arrested. A search of the unit found 439g of Ice, 300g of heroin, 22g of cannabis, 9g of ketamine, 10g of Ecstasy and one Erimin-5 tablet. The 26-year-old man was taken to his car, where a small amount of Ice was also found.

Later in the day, a 40-year-old woman returned to the unit and was arrested for suspected drug trafficking offences.

Various weapons were also found in the unit, including a dagger, knuckledusters, katanas and knives, which were seized and handed over to the police. Police investigations are ongoing.

If a person is found guilty of trafficking more than 15g of diamorphine or “pure heroin”, or more than 250g of methamphetamine, he or she may face the death penalty.

Investigations into the drug activities of all arrested suspects are ongoing, said CNB.
