The arrests came after investigations into a case earlier this year, where more than S$800,000 worth of etomidate pods were seized from two Malaysians at Singapore’s Woodlands Checkpoint.
HSA warned that it takes a serious view of vaporiser and etomidate trafficking offences.
Etomidate, an anaesthetic agent that has been found in vapes, has been listed as a Class C drug in the Misuse of Drugs Act since last September.
This means that it is illegal to traffic, manufacture, import, export, possess or consume etomidate without authorisation.
Under the law, drugs are classified into Class A, B and C, with Class A being the most strictly controlled, such as heroin, cocaine and cannabis.
