Four male foreign workers were arrested by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) at a Woodlands Avenue 1 dormitory on Oct 22.

Acting on information received, CNB officers launched the operation at the workers' residential lodging in the late morning.

A 32-year-old man was nabbed for drug trafficking and three others, aged 24, 30 and 36, for drug abuse.

Following a search of the men and their living area, 68g of cannabis, 18g of Ice, 29 Yaba tablets and various drug paraphernalia were seized.

Investigations into all arrested suspects are ongoing.

Superintendent Royce Chua, Commanding Officer of Enforcement 'F' and 'L' Divisions, said: "CNB regularly engages the community, which includes our migrant worker community, to raise awareness on the harms of drugs and Singapore's zero tolerance stance against drugs.

"CNB will not hesitate to take tough enforcement action against drug traffickers and offenders, and will spare no effort to detect, disrupt, and dismantle drug operations to keep Singapore safe."
