A Santa Monica woman is behind bars after police discovered she was selling bogus COVID-19 test kits on Craigslist.
Ying Lien Wang was taken into custody on Tuesday after undercover cops bought three of the unapproved kits from her, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Afterward, they seized 61 more kits from her home, they say. “None of the COVID-19 test kits recovered had been tested to meet United States safety standards and could pose a risk to anyone using them,” a statement released by the LAPD reads.
While it’s unclear how much Wang was charging for the kits, police are reminding residents that the city is offering free tests.
