Preliminary investigation showed the group prepared and shipped the products to customers who ordered through major online platforms such as Shopee, Lazada and TikTok, using promotions like free shipping and extra gifts to boost sales. Police continue to process the evidence and expand the investigation to pursue further legal action.
