The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) concluded a four-day enforcement operation on Monday with the arrest of 81 suspected drug offenders across the island. The coordinated effort resulted in the seizure of drugs estimated to have a street value exceeding $105,000.
The operation targeted various drug-related activities, with enforcement officers conducting raids and surveillance across multiple locations. The scale of arrests underscores ongoing efforts by the CNB to disrupt drug supply chains and combat trafficking in Singapore.
Authorities did not immediately provide a breakdown of the specific substances seized or charge details for those arrested. The CNB regularly conducts island-wide operations as part of its mandate to combat drug abuse and trafficking.
The arrested individuals are expected to be processed and brought before the courts for further proceedings. Singapore maintains strict drug laws, with penalties ranging from fines and imprisonment to capital punishment for trafficking offences involving large quantities of controlled substances.
