Already thousands of protections passed?

A woman arrested by police said the wards were dipped in boiling water and dried before being individually placed on a piece of wood shaped like a penis.

The aim of the manipulation was to restore the condoms to their original shape.

The suspect said she was paid 0.17 dollars (around 14 euro cents) for each kilo of condoms cleaned.

The state-run Vietnam Television broadcast the footage of the police intervention and the shattered condom bags.

The number of protections purchased by consumers after passing through the hands of suspects remains unknown, but could already rise to several thousand.
