SINGAPORE – An 11-year-old was among three people fined for vaping, and a 17-year-old was arrested for a suspected etomidate offence, during an anti-vape enforcement operation in Punggol on April 30.
Two males and one female, aged between 11 and 29, were caught and fined on the spot for vaping, said the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) on May 13.
Separately, a 17-year-old boy was arrested for a suspected repeat etomidate offence, with his urine testing positive for the drug, said HSA.
Four vapes and related components, including one pod suspected to contain the anaesthetic agent etomidate, were seized in the enforcement operation carried out by the HSA and police. The suspected drug-laced device has been sent for testing.
