Thai Police Seize Over 3,000 Illegal E-Cigarettes in Bangkok Raid
Thai police raided an e-cigarette warehouse in Bangkok, seizing over 3,000 illegal products promoted on social media.

According to a report by Bangkokbiznews on February 26th, Thai authorities raided an e-cigarette warehouse in the Phaya Thai district of Bangkok, seizing over 3,000 illegal e-cigarette products.


Law enforcement officers found that illegally sold e-cigarette products were being promoted and sold to the public through social media. In response, police conducted undercover purchases through social media to gather conclusive evidence. Over 3,000 prohibited items, including e-cigarettes and e-cigarette liquid, were confiscated.


Four suspects who were arrested used a private warehouse to hide illegal goods and sell them through social media in an attempt to evade police capture. Their warehouse was located just 100 meters away from the wall of a university and operated sales 24 hours a day.


Currently, the case is under further investigation.
