Some had to be treated in hospital
Police have issued a warning after at least three incidents where school children have inhaled cannabis-derived liquids mixed with vape liquids and collapsed. Officers are now urging parents to talk frankly with their children about the dangers of vaping.
Sergeant Stuart Mumby-Croft, of Sleaford Neighbourhood Police Team said: "We had reported incidents in which three children collapsed in the town centre. Following inquiries, we believe that some youths may have been mixing THC liquids with vape liquids and offered them to children, who were unaware of the mix of substances.
"There is no suggestion that those children involved have voluntarily inhaled a cannabis-based substance which leaves us making assumptions as to how these incidents have occurred. One such conclusion I am forced to consider is the potential of these incidents being the result of a very dangerous and misguided 'prank'.
"The frequency and volume of nicotine they can take in, especially with some vapes and liquids being of very high nicotine content, can lead to significant nicotine addiction and dependence much more swiftly. Children under 18 should not be able to purchase them, but the volume we are finding among young teenagers, especially cheap disposable vapes, is high.
