Operation Pangea,seized £6.5m worth of illegal internet medicines.

Pangea has seized £6.5m of drugs globally, and more than 18,000 websites have been closed down or had payment facilties removed, while the MHRA has netted more than 2.3m doses of unlicensed medicine worth more than £3.8m, including 68,000 counterfeit pills. The sequence of British raids was each named after a British prime minister, from Eden through to Blair – with the north-west London raid given the moniker Operation Home.

"The [operation] is to get the message out [to the public] that the internet is not a safe place to buy medicines," said Lee-Frost, whose idea Pangea was. Modafinil, he said, "is a pretty powerful drug. It should only be prescribed by a doctor. It is not to be lightly used." The people running the websites "are not interested in health. They are only interested in making money."
