10 kilograms of heroin, their largest capture of the drug in five years.

Singapore anti-narcotics officers said yesterday they had seized almost 10 kilograms of heroin, their largest capture of the drug in five years.
The heroin along with small amounts of other drugs had a total street value of about 1.5 million Singapore dollars, the Central Narcotics Bureau said in a statement.
Officers also seized about 400,000 dollars in cash during Monday's operation, the bureau said.
The local drugs ring was led by a 38-year-old Singaporean man, who along with three drug couriers will be investigated for heroin trafficking, a crime punishable by death, it said.
"He obtained his supply of drugs directly from an overseas syndicate using both local and foreign couriers to smuggle the drugs in," the statement said.
A total of eight people were arrested but the bureau did not release their names. It said the syndicate leader and three drug couriers will be investigated for heroin trafficking.
