SINGAPORE - More than $100,000 in drugs and cash were seized by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) in an operation on Friday (June 17).

A 38-year-old Singaporean woman and her accomplice, a 39-year-old foreigner, were arrested near Anchorvale Road in the raid that started with CNB officers being deployed to observe the woman.

She was suspected to be receiving a consignment of drugs from her foreign accomplice, CNB said in a news release on Saturday.

The accomplice was arrested in the vicinity of the suspected drug trafficker's hideout, with over $15,000 in cash seized from him.

Four officers then raided the hideout of the woman and arrested her.

A total of over 1.1kg of heroin, 150g of Ice, a slab of Erimin-5 tablets and more than $20,000 in cash were recovered in the operation.

CNB said investigations into the drug activities of the suspects are ongoing.
