According to a report from The Thaiger on July 20, Thai police recently raided a large warehouse in Lat Krabang and discovered over 60,000 illegal e-cigarette products worth 5 million Thai baht ($137,828). Two suspects were arrested.
Police carried out a raid on a three-story commercial building in the Phutthabucha area, which was disguised as a grocery store.
An investigation revealed that this commercial building was being used to store a large quantity of illegal e-cigarette products and related equipment. During the search, police seized over 60,000 items, including e-cigarettes, e-cigarette liquids, and e-cigarette accessories, with a total value of approximately 5 million Thai baht (137,828 US dollars).
After these products were confiscated, the suspects and seized items were handed over to investigators for further legal proceedings.
In Thailand, the use and sale of e-cigarettes are strictly regulated, and this raid is an important step in curbing illegal distribution.
This operation highlights the importance of inter-agency collaboration in combating illegal activities. We are committed to continuing to diligently enforce the law to protect public health.
The identities of the suspects have not been disclosed yet, as they are facing legal action for illegally storing and distributing e-cigarette products. The investigation is ongoing.
