Two women have been arrested by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) for attempting to smuggle about 450g of heroin ad 52g of ‘ice’ worth $57,000 into Singapore on Jan. 15.
Aged 28 and 46, the duo had been stopped at the car arrival zone of Woodlands Checkpoint in a Malaysian-registered taxi with two others on board by officers from the Immigrations & Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
They were subsequently referred to CNB for checks during which a female CNB officer found a bundle of heroin hidden in the 28-year-old’s underwear. The 46-year-old was also found to be hiding another bundle of heroin and a smaller bundle of ‘ice’.
Investigations both women are on-going.
