Singaporean arrested in Indonesia after police raid

A Singaporean man was arrested in northern Jakarta on July 17 after Indonesian authorities raided a house being used to produce etomidate vapes, also known as Kpods.



Local media outlet IDN Times identified the 34-year-old suspect by the initials LHM and the alias Hayden.



According to local authorites the man was cooking or mixing the etomidate when airport police and customs agencies raided the house.



Items seized in the raid included thousands of ready-for-distribution drug cartridges and mini laboratory equipment used to produce the etomidate.



The home-based operation had begun producing the drug cartridges just a day before the raid.



An investigation is under way to determine how many cartridges were produced and how long the operation had been running.
