SINGAPORE: A 36-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman have been arrested for attempting to smuggle drugs, including more than 10kg of cannabis, into Singapore, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said on Friday (Sep 18).<\/p>\n
The pair, both Malaysians, arrived at Tuas Checkpoint on a Malaysia-registered motorcycle on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Based on information received from ICA\u2019s Integrated Targeting Centre, officers referred the motorcycle for enhanced checks.<\/p>\n
During the checks, ICA officers found four bundles of vegetable matter believed to be controlled drugs underneath the motorcycle seat.<\/p>\n
Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers were immediately alerted to the detection and conducted further checks, uncovering six more bundles of vegetable matter believed to be controlled drugs in a black haversack on the motorcycle\u2019s handlebar.<\/p>\n
The 10 bundles were found to contain a total of about 10.1kg of cannabis, ICA said.<\/p>\n
The drugs seized have an estimated worth of more than S$203,000 and could potentially feed the addiction of about 1,450 abusers for a week, it added.<\/p>\n
Investigations are ongoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, those who import into or export from Singapore more than 500g of cannabis may face the death penalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cICA will continue to work with CNB to prevent attempts to smuggle drugs across our borders,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n
\u201cICA will also continue to conduct security checks at the checkpoints to prevent attempts to smuggle undesirable persons, weapons, explosives and other contrabands across our borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
