12-Year-Old Arrested for Supplying Drugs in UK School
A 12-year-old boy in Gwent, UK was arrested for allegedly supplying e-cigarette with drugs, causing three students to faint.

According to a recent report by the Daily Mail, a 12-year-old boy in Gloucestershire, England has been arrested by the police for allegedly supplying an e-cigarette containing drugs, which resulted in three school students collapsing after smoking it.

 

A boy has been arrested by Gloucestershire Police on suspicion of supplying class B drugs in connection with an incident that resulted in a 13-year-old girl being taken to the hospital.

 

Officials from the Education Protection Office in Gwent County have reported that three children are experiencing various health issues, resulting in the school receiving a warning. Parents and teachers in the Caerphilly and Torfaen areas in South Wales are now being alerted to these concerning symptoms.

 

The paramedics from schools in Monmouthshire, Newport, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent, and Caerphilly have received advice on how to handle students using illegal substances.

 

The schools in Newport and Gwent have also received a letter from the Newport Education Protection Department. The letter states:

 

We have witnessed two incidents involving three children experiencing physical discomfort after vaping e-cigarettes. It is suspected that these e-cigarettes may contain illegal drugs or toxins, as the children felt unwell and eventually collapsed after vaping.

 

The Gwent Police have stated that the 12-year-old boy has been arrested and detained in connection with one of the incidents.

 

Police spokesperson states:

 

We received a report of a medical emergency on Incline Road at 9:45 a.m. on Wednesday, December 6th. A 13-year-old girl from Brunant was transported to the hospital for treatment and was discharged later that day. A 12-year-old boy from Bondyville has been arrested on suspicion of supplying Class B drugs. He is currently under police custody.

 

Previously, the head of the Welsh health authorities called for a ban on disposable e-cigarettes in order to curb the use of e-cigarettes among young people. The Welsh public health sector argues that disposable products are "strongly linked to the increase in children and young people using e-cigarettes.
