Police in Thailand arrested three Chinese suspects, two men and a woman, in a sting operation in Pattaya and seized vape pens and zombie-vape liquid from the suspects, who allegedly admitted to sales worth 2 million baht ($58,000) a day. They were charged with the illegal sale of e-cigarettes and vaping liquid and with selling contraband goods.
Police Major General Patanasak Bupphasawan said the suspects admitted daily sales of about 1,000 e-cigarettes to tourists and young people. The arresting team also seized about 100 grams of powdered etomidate anesthetic, e-cigarettes, and equipment for mixing the anesthetic and e-liquid to make zombie-vape fluid. The seized products were worth about 513,590 baht ($15,000).
