Three people have been arrested for alleged participation in a syndicate that sold illicit steroids, scheduled medicines, stimulants and other performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) to consumers online.

"Investigations that included a forensic analysis, revealed that one of the products sold online as a 'fat burner' contained dimethylphenethylamine, an isomer of methamphetamine (commonly known as crystal meth or tik)," she said.
