Crime Briefs: Fake Pills, Lewd Act
Earlier this month, the Tax and Customs Board's anti-narcotics unit searched a Tallinn home, finding 4,800 fake sexual performance enhancement pills.
In cooperation with Europol and Hungarian police, authorities arrested a man suspected of purchasing the pills from Hungary and bringing them to Estonia, where he was thought to have sold them through various websites.
"Medications that are fake and whose quality has not been checked can have an extremely dangerous effect on one's health," said Urmet Tambre, head of the anti-narcotics unit at the Tax and Customs Board.
