A CHELMSFORD home was raided as part of the world's biggest crackdown on the sale of fake medicines.
Interpol and the UK Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) raided 13 homes and businesses across England, including a house in Broomfield, Chelmsford, netting a total of £300,000 worth of illicit prescription-only drugs.
A 44-year-old local man was arrested in the dawn swoop on the residential property and £23,000 worth of potentially-dangerous anabolic steroids were seized in nine black bin bags, along with £5,000 cash.
MHRA head of enforcement Mick Deats said: "Illegal suppliers have no quality control or standards, so purchasers will never know what the tablet they are swallowing contains."
"At worst they can kill."
I'm expecting far more Pangea bust stories to hit the press this weekend.
