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).

The pair, both Malaysians, arrived at Tuas Checkpoint on a Malaysia-registered motorcycle on Tuesday.

Based on information received from ICA’s Integrated Targeting Centre, officers referred the motorcycle for enhanced checks.

During the checks, ICA officers found four bundles of vegetable matter believed to be controlled drugs underneath the motorcycle seat.

The 10 bundles were found to contain a total of about 10.1kg of cannabis, ICA said. 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. Investigations are ongoing. Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, those who import into or export from Singapore more than 500g of cannabis may face the death penalty. “ICA will continue to work with CNB to prevent attempts to smuggle drugs across our borders,” the agency said. “ICA 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.”
