SINGAPORE – More than 5,900 units of e-vaporisers and related components were found in a car entering Singapore at Woodlands Checkpoint on July 24 .

In a Facebook post on Aug 5 , the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said it foiled the smuggling attempt made via a Malaysia-registered car.

Its officers had directed the car for enhanced checks. They then uncovered the e-vaporisers and related components, as well as 150 cartons of heatsticks, or heat-not-burn tobacco products.

The items were hidden in various compartments of the car, said ICA.
