SINGAPORE: An 18-year-old was charged in court on Monday (Apr 6) for allegedly trafficking etomidate-laced vaporiser pods, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said.
Goh Shao Zhi Cornelius is accused of selling the pods to buyers after advertising their availability via messaging platform Telegram.
Following a tip-off, HSA officers raided Goh’s residence on Saturday. They seized one vaporiser, 108 pods and a packet of duty-unpaid cigarettes.
“Laboratory testing confirmed that the seized pods contained etomidate,” HSA said, adding that investigations are ongoing.
