A private-hire vehicle (PHV) driver recently took his passenger to the police station after suspecting the latter to be on Kpods.<\/p>\n
A dashcam video of the incident was shared March 16 on TikTok, and shows a man in a hoodie stumbling around in front of an HDB block as he approaches the car.<\/p>\n
The clip then cuts to the vehicle pulling up outside a police station, where the man can be seen being dragged inside by a police officer.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Shin Min Daily News, the PHV driver surnamed Lin shared that he had picked up his passenger at Toh Guan Road at around 6am that day.<\/p>\n
He had noticed the latter walking unsteadily and holding an e-vaporiser device in his hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite the man claiming he was only drunk, Lin believed the vape to contain Kpods, which are laced with etomidate, an anaesthetic agent.<\/p>\n
“He couldn’t walk well, and the smell of smoke on his body was so strong, it was really suspicious,” the 29-year-old told the Chinese daily.<\/p>\n
Lin diverted course and took his passenger to a Clementi police station, where he explained the situation and gave a statement to the police.<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the Health Services Authority (HSA) said that they had been referred a case involving a 34-year-old man by the police.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was found with two vaporisers and one pod which have been sent for testing.<\/p>\n
Investigations are underway.<\/p>\n
