The HOIO, UK Border Force and WM ROCU subsequently mounted an operation in the UK, resulting in the seizure of additional quantities of cannabis and the arrest of seven people.
One individual has been charged in the UK with a drug-related offence and authorities are pursuing further leads to identify others involved.
“Through close international cooperation and intelligence sharing, we and our UK law enforcement counterparts have dealt a significant blow to transnational drug trafficking networks,” said CNB’s Deputy Director for operations, Assistant Commissioner Aaron Tang.
“Our partnerships with international law enforcement agencies ensure that there is no safe haven for those who peddle these deadly substances.”
Asia Pacific Regional Manager of HOIO Bryan McNeill said: “The United Kingdom is grateful to our partners in Singapore for helping disrupt drug trafficking networks targeting the UK.
“Through real-time intelligence sharing, stronger border coordination and shared goals, this collaboration closed gaps long exploited by organised crime.”
