Police have issued a warning after school children collapsed in a town centre from a vaping prank that went wrong. The youngsters are believed to have inhaled cannabis-derived liquids mixed with vape liquids, leaving some of those involved needing hospital care. All have now recovered.
Officers now want parents to talk frankly with their children about the dangers of vaping. They said they were aware of at least three similar incidents in Sleaford town centre , reports Lincolnshire Live.
Sergeant Stuart Mumby-Croft 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 (a derivative of cannabis) liquids with vape liquids and offered them to children, who were unaware of the mix of substances.
