SINGAPORE: A 36-year-old man is\u00a0assisting with investigations over the suspected illegal manufacture and supply of sex drugs, and sale of vapes, following a raid by the\u00a0Health Sciences Authority (HSA).<\/p>\n
In response to CNA’s query, HSA said on Monday (Apr 21) that this is the first case involving the illegal manufacture of sexual enhancement medicines.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The authority added in a press release that it carried out a raid on a Housing Board (HDB) flat at Beo Crescent on Mar 21 after receiving information about the occupants’ alleged involvement in the illegal manufacturing and storing of health products in the unit.<\/p>\n
More than 18,000 units of prescription sexual enhancement medicines and supplements, several pieces of equipment and related paraphernalia were seized, along with 30 e-vaporisers and components.<\/p>\n
The items seized have a street value of about S$51,000 (US$38,910), HSA said.<\/p>\n
The authority noted that the equipment and paraphernalia were used for the manufacture of capsules.<\/p>\n
“They included a blister pack sealing machine, capsule filling machine, empty gelatine capsules, empty bottles and containers, and printed labels for various sexual enhancement products,” it said.<\/p>\n
“To date, HSA has not detected the sale of these illegally manufactured sexual enhancement products online.”<\/p>\n
HSA added that\u00a0local e-commerce and social media platforms have been informed to put in place measures to prevent the online listing of these illegally manufactured products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SINGAPORE: A 36-year-old man is\u00a0assisting with investigations over the suspected illegal manufacture and supply of sex drugs, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41182,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4316],"tags":[105,23372,4348,23371,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-41181","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-health-products","10":"tag-healthcare","11":"tag-hsa","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114381859447844934","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41181\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
