SINGAPORE – A man who was part of a syndicate that operated two “warehouses” containing nearly 58,000 vape products was sentenced to 10 months’ jail on Aug 19.
Nearly 17,000 of the products were vaporisers. One of the rented “warehouses” was a terraced house in Lentor, and the other was a condominium unit in the Canberra area in Sembawang.
Roy Tan Jun Jie, 34, was also fined $45,000 – the same amount he had earned while working for the group. He has to spend another six weeks behind bars if he fails to pay the fine.
Tan was the first person from the group to admit being involved with the syndicate.
Before handing down the sentence, Deputy Principal District Judge Kessler Soh noted Tan was not the leader of the syndicate.
Tan was an area distributor and occupied the lowest rung of the three-tiered syndicate. He had pleaded guilty on Aug 6 to being one of its members.
He also pleaded guilty to one count of being in possession of 31 vaporisers meant for sale.
