Two arrests made in Barnsley after reports of cannabis vapes being sold to children
Officers carried out a raid after a tip off that vapes were being produced containing THC - the psychoactive ingredient in the Class B drug.
A woman and a 14 year old boy have been arrested as part of an investigation into vapes containing cannabis being sold to children.
Officers raided a property on Highstone Crescent on Monday (September 15) after a tip off that vapes were being produced containing THC - the psychoactive ingredient in the Class B drug.
Around 200 illegal vapes were recovered, along with cannabis, vape juice and THC oil.
Several phones were also located, along with approximately £5,000 in cash.
The teenager and the 32 year old suspect have both been released on bail pending further inquiries.
Inspector Rebecca Richardson, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "It is extremely concerning that these vapes have been making their way in to the hands of children in our district. Not only are they illegal, but they can cause serious health concerns.
"Our officers acted swiftly on the intelligence received, and will now thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding this.
"Combating the supply of illegal vapes is a priority for our district and we will continue to build on local intelligence and information submitted by our residents."
