A 32-year-old woman and 26-year-old man, both suspected drug traffickers, were among those arrested.
An alleged conversation between a drug supplier and a client was uncovered during the raid by CNB on April 2.
The drugs include 333g of cannabis, 13g of methamphetamine also known as Ice, 5g of ketamine, 1g of heroin, 42 Erimin-5 tablets, two Ecstasy tablets and 65 vape devices suspected to contain tetrahydrocannabinol. “Those who think they can carry out their drug activities with impunity by using chat applications such as Telegram will do well to think again,” said CNB’s director of intelligence, deputy assistant commissioner Aaron Tang.
