Police conduct quixotic raid on sex toy and “aphrodisiac” vendors

The forces of good marshaled yesterday in Khlong Thom to seize “aphrodisiacs,” sex toys and pills labeled as Viagra.

Five vendors selling the items were arrested and charged with selling drugs without permission and with selling obscene objects.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which conducted the raid with the Department of Special Investigation, said it was checking if the aphrodisiacs contained any illicit drugs.

DSI agents said the pills being sold as Viagra were of low quality and could lead to heart attacks or death for those with chronic ailments or allergies, while the FDA agents said the purported aphrodisiacs had no labels with dosage or usage information, which could be a legal offense.

So there you have folks, those pills being hawked in Nana are fake and possibly dangerous. Who knew?

Vendors of sex toys and other goods were heard complaining about the seizures and the parading of the five suspects in the middle of a closed intersection. The raids prompted the operators of other stalls offering sex toys to shut down before DSI agents could approach them, the Nation reported.
