SINGAPORE — A Malaysian teenager was caught on Saturday for allegedly trying to smuggle more than 1kg of drugs, including heroin, into Singapore.
If convicted, the unnamed 19-year-old could face the death penalty.
In a statement, the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said the Malaysian was arrested after three bundles of drugs worth over S$87,000 were seized from his Malaysia-registered motorcycle during a routine check at the Woodlands Checkpoint at about 5.25am that day.
CNB officers noticed that the fuel tank of the teenager’s motorcycle was missing a screw and, after checks, found three bundles hidden under the fuel tank compartment.
Two of the bundles contained about 745g of heroin — almost 50 times over the mandatory death penalty threshold of 15g — while the other had 279g of cannabis.
The teenager was arrested and is currently under investigation./folbuzz.com/
