HSA officers then raided the residence of the third man, who was allegedly involved in the sale of the items, at Serangoon North Avenue 1.
A total of 1,157 e-vaporisers and 25,345 vape pods were seized from both the storage facility and the residence of the third suspect.

Following up on our previous coverage of 30-year-old Andy Koh Ju Hua’s vile and inhuman abuse of his own mother, new details have since emerged of his mother’s assault after the former was sentenced to 56 weeks jail on 23 March 2021.
In one incident after he punched his 68-year-old mother’s face, he forced her to stand by the sink holding an ice pack to her face for 12 hours, from 6.30pm in the evening to 6.30am in the morning.
He then kept watch over her from his room, threatening to hit her if she lowered her hands.
Koh also hit his mother on the head once with a remote control, resulting in the elderly woman being left with a scar.
Koh took steps to avoid being found out, such as not allowing his mother to answer the door or let the neighbours see her; and any time the neighbours came around, he would make her hide at the staircase or retreat.
He only allowed her to wear old and torn clothes so that it would be difficult for her to escape and seek help from others.
Koh targeted his mother’s private parts as injuries in that area could be concealed.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Magdalene Huang sought a sentence of 50 weeks jail for Koh.
Koh, in response, asked if he could be given 30 weeks jail instead because he wanted to continue school and “complete my candidature” to complete his master’s degree with NUS.
NUS has previously stated that Koh was on a leave of absence in August 2019 and didn’t return to his studies after the expiration of his leave, resulting in his candidature being terminated in January.

Following the viral videos of a Ngee Ann Poly student being urinated on by his seniors who are believed to be from the Ngee Ann Poly Student Union (NPSU), more people have come out with their own similar experiences with the NPSU.
The NPSU allegedly forced students to shower naked beside each other while they watch from behind, saying that it is a bonding session.
The senior students also forced the freshmen to strip at the beach and to go into the water, and they would then steal their clothes and run away.
Among other things, the seniors from NPSU also allegedly twisted a freshman’s nipples so hard that it started bleeding and a medic has to administer first aid.
The NPSU also allegedly forced the freshmen girls who were wearing white, to get into the water at the beach, even though the girls expressed discomfort and refused.
They also took dirty and wet socks that the girls used for their wet games and made the freshmen lick or put the soiled garments into their mouths.
During one incident, the seniors also made the freshmen drink alcohol at a chalet until they passed out, before throwing all of the freshmen (boys and girls) together on the bed; one of the girls woke up with a guy that she doesn’t know lying on her legs.
In relation to the viral video, apparently it wasn’t the only time urine was involved – a student shared how he was asked to pee into a guy’s mouth.

A 21-year-old man who is being accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl when she was drunk, failed to show up in court on the morning of 22 March.
He was due to enter his plea for the sexual offences.
The High Court has since issued a warrant of arrest for the accused, who is facing one count of attempted rape and two counts of sexual assault by penetration.
He is one of two men being accused of the felonies.
The man (who cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the victim’s identity) was 18 years old when he commited the crimes against the girl on 17 October 2017, at the foot of a HDB building at Pasir Ris.
He is also facing unrelated charges of theft, causing hurt and dishonest misappropriation.
The victim was playing truth or dare and drinking at a void deck with a group of friends in the early hours of 17 October 2017, and she became increasingly drunk.
The group then left the block and the victim had to be piggybacked because she was too drunk to walk properly.
The two accused the waited for the girl when she stopped to relieve herself at the foot of a block, and the trio then became separated from the rest of the group that they were with earlier.
The girl rested on the ground and the two accused tried to rouse her, but she didn’t respond.
The two then allegedly touched her breasts and sexually violated her.
Before the court hearing at 10am, the accused met his lawyer, Mr Clarence Lun, and his father for breakfast at a building near the court.
At about 9.10am, he said that he had a stomachache and went to the toilet, but he never returned after some time.
The lawyer and the accused’s father searched for him but to no avail; he was also not responding to messages and phone calls.
The accused’s father told the court that he doesn’t believe that his son would jump bail, although the issue of whether the accused’s bail of $30,000 would be forfeited would be determined at a separate hearing.
The missing man’s co accused had earlier pleaded guilty to raping the teenager.
Sandiaga Uno, the Indonesian Tourism Minister, said in a press conference on 22 March that the proposed “safe travel corridor” between Singapore, Bintan and Batam is meant to attract only Singaporeans to visit Indonesia for holidays, and not the other way round.
He said that the government is not including Indonesians going to Singapore via the travel corridor because they want Singaporeans to go to Indonesia instead, adding that the tourism and creative economy ministry is focused on how tourists can visit Indonesia and not for locals to go abroad.
Uno also suggested that the travel corridor could even begin on 21 April 2021.
He added that three spots in Batam and two in Bintan can be visited by tourists safely amid the pandemic, and that the areas will be sealed; although domestic tourists who have been vaccinated and have a negative Covid-19 test result may enter.
Uno shed light on the discussions with Singapore, saying that the discussion between the two countries are still ongoing, led by the minister of foreign affairs.
He is hoping that the discussion can be pushed further with the visit of Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Vivian Balakrishnan later this week, to Jakarta.

A netizen took to social media to share how he (anonymous submission, we’re gonna assume it’s a guy for journalistic ease) witnessed an uncle allegedly sexually harassing a girl inside a bus.
The uncle was apparently trying to touch the girl with his leg by moving closer and closer to the girl who was seated beside him.
The girl, feeling uncomfortable, inched away from the uncle to the point where she had to lean against the window.
The OP said that he pretended to drop something on them before he alighted, as a sign of warning to the uncle.
