SINGAPORE – Four men are now facing a total of five charges involving etomidate-laced vape devices following the largest seizure of illegally imported Kpods in Singapore.
Immigration and Checkpoints Authority officers at the Woodlands Checkpoint recovered 12,273 Kpods worth over $800,000 from 161 parcels hidden in a car in May.
All four Singaporeans, who are allegedly linked to a syndicate that supplied Kpods in the city-state, appeared in a district court on July 1.
Three of them – Michael Jordan Tan Wei Hui, 31; Kong Qi Cong, 32; and Willy Poh Wei Li, 32 – face one charge each.
Kong and Poh are accused of being in possession of Kpods, while Tan allegedly engaged in a conspiracy with another man to deliver etomidate-laced products.
The fourth man, Tobias Tan Wei An, 27, faces two Kpod-related charges for offences including trafficking a Class C controlled drug.
Drugs under the classification have lower potential for harm than Class A and Class B drugs, but are still deemed dangerous enough to warrant strict control.
