Police have arrested the owner and a manager of a factory in Nonthaburi that produces false allergy syrup.
On Friday, a team of investigators from the Metropolitan Police Division 7 conducted a search of the factory on a 9-rai ( 14 ) square meter ) plot of land in the Sai Noi district of Tambon Rat Niyom with a search warrant issued to the Nonthaburi Provincial Court.
They seized 12, 000 jars of false allergy sugar, 80, 000 clear bottles and technology for producing counterfeit drugs. The containers bore bogus” Allerin Syrup” names.
Stock owner Mee, 37, and shop manager Thawee, 25, were arrested, police said on Saturday. The names of both people were never provided.
A member of the company that makes the authentic Allerin Syrup brand filed a complaint in response to the raid, claiming that false allergy syrup made with their brand had been sold online. Thammasala Police Station received the issue.
The research that led to the attack on the factory was launched by the police.
Mr. Mee acknowledged that he and Mr. Thawee had co-produced false allergy sugar under this brand. The products were delivered to agencies and other users who placed online purchases with the help of their business partners.
The owner claimed that his shop had been producing the allergic honey without authorization for four to five months. The stock may offer about 50 bins a month, with each field containing 200 bottles and priced at 9, 000 ringgit. This generated about 450, 000 ringgit in quarterly income.
Natthawut Simanurak, selling director of the reputable company, said the fake drugs caused damage for about 100 million baht to his company. He thought Mr. Mee’s factory had been producing the false goods without authorization for at least a month. The phony products were sold at supermarkets and to childhood consumers, said Mr Natthawut.
The defendants were detained by the police for legal actions.
