Man probed over illegal gambling websites, vape possession

The driver is assisting with investigations for gambling with an unlicensed gambling service provider. If found guilty, he can be fined up to $10,000, jailed for up to six months, or both.

The vaporiser-related offence was referred to HSA, the police said.

In response to queries, a spokesperson for HSA said the seized vaporisers have been sent for testing, and that the man is assisting with the agency’s investigations.

Individuals found guilty of possessing or using vapes may be fined up to $10,000.

Those convicted of selling, transporting, delivering or distributing vapes in Singapore may be jailed for up to six years and fined up to $200,000.

According to Shin Min Daily News, a bespectacled man was seen sitting by the roadside in Toa Payoh when the news publication was at the scene that night. A car nearby had its hood and boot open, and four police cars were parked near it.

There were open packages on the ground next to the vehicle, as well as various e-cigarettes and vape pods, said Shin Min.

Some officers were seen questioning the man – believed to be the driver – while others were counting the e-cigarettes.

Officers were also seen removing e-cigarettes from sealed boxes and sorting them into evidence bags.
