SINGAPORE – Officers at the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) have foiled an attempt to smuggle cannabis into Singapore.
On May 11, ICA officers at the Parcel Post Section noticed anomalies in the scanned images of a parcel from overseas, said ICA in a Facebook post on June 13.
The parcel was falsely declared as a travel case.
Upon further checks, the officers uncovered two packets of vegetable substances that were vacuum-sealed, said ICA.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the content was cannabis.
The case was referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) for further investigations, ICA added. Responding to queries from The Straits Times, a CNB spokesperson said the case is under investigation.
