SINGAPORE: More than 390kg of cannabis was detected in an inbound container at Pasir Panjang Scanning Station on Sep 24, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said in a joint statement on Friday (Oct 2).

The container was first referred for enhanced checks based on ICA targeting efforts, the agencies said. ICA's image analysts then discovered anomalies in scanned images of the container.

Upon physical inspection, ICA officers found suspected cannabis blocks concealed within boxes containing gloves.

CNB officers were immediately alerted, and further checks were conducted.

Preliminary investigations found that the drugs were transiting through Singapore and bound for another country. Investigations are ongoing.

Anyone who imports into or exports from Singapore more than 500g of cannabis may face the mandatory death penalty.

"ICA works closely with CNB to prevent attempts to smuggle drugs across our borders," the agencies said.

"ICA will also continue to leverage technology and data analytics to strengthen Singapore's border security, prevent the smuggling of drugs and contraband and prevent undesirable persons from entering Singapore."
