Fake test kits found in Bangkok
It’s not just COVID-19 itself that we
should be cautious of, but also of those who take advantage of innocent
people during this harsh period of time.
On 8th April 2020, Police Lieutenant General Permpun Chitchob, the Assistant Commissioner–General reported
a case of fake COVID-19 test kits, masks, and thermometers being sold.
The case was handled along with officials from the Consumer Protection
Police Division (CPPD) and officials from the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA).
The men were later identified as Chen Lei
and Wein Pinpin, 2 Chinese nationals who were arrested inside their
residence in Bangkok for smuggling fake COVID-19 test kits into
Thailand.
The captured evidence includes over
45,000 fake COVID-19 test kits, 1,200 infrared thermometers, and 350,000
face masks. These items were sold without permission at higher prices
in Bangkok and nearby districts, and they were valued at over ฿33m.
Kits would always test ‘negative’
