UK enforcement raid
April 26, 2013
THE British Medicines and
Healthcare products Regulatory
Agency has seized more than
£500,000 worth of unlicensed
erectile dysfunction, diet and hair
loss drugs in a London raid.
Home Office Immigration
Enforcement officers raided a flat
in connection with a number of
people who had overstayed their
visas, and found about 150,000
tablets.
The majority were generic
versions of Viagra, while there was
also a stash of anabolic steroids.
“The quantity of illicit drugs
seized in this raid was incredible,”
said MHRA Head of Operations,
Danny Lee Frost.
He said the drugs were stored and
packaged in filthy conditions, and
it was believed they were being
imported from India and then sold
to British consumers online.
