SINGAPORE: The authorities seized more than S$169,000 worth of drugs from a Malaysia-registered motorcycle arriving at Woodlands Checkpoint on Tuesday (Jan 14).

The amount of cannabis, Ice and Ermin-5 tablets seized by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) could feed the addiction of about 970 abusers for a week, said CNB and Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) in a joint statement on Thursday (Jan 16).

ICA officers checked the motorcycle, ridden by a 21-year-old Malaysian man, in the morning of Jan 14.

They found a black bundle in the front fairing of the motorcycle.

CNB officers were immediately alerted to the case.

They found about 4,648g of cannabis, 542g of Ice and 250 Erimin-5 tablets concealed at various parts of the motorcycle.

Individuals found guilty of importing into or exporting from Singapore more than 250g of methamphetamine or 500g of cannabis may face the death penalty.

Investigations are ongoing. - The Straits Times/ANN
