Five of them received jail terms of 10 to 26 days, while three were given 12 to 24 months' probation for the offences related to e-vaporisers and their components.
More than $170,000 worth of e-vaporisers and related components were seized from the 17 offenders.
Among the 17 offenders, the highest fine of $23,000 was given to Chelsea Tan Yan Qi, 24, who served 50 days’ jail as she could not pay the fine, it added. One of the 17 convicted, Yang Jing Tao, 21, is a repeat offender who was earlier caught selling e-vaporisers on Carousell in 2018. He was then issued with a conditional warning, under which he was not allowed to be involved in any criminal conduct for 24 months.
