Earlier this week Lancashire Police warned parents of the dangers of unregulated vapes after several young people were taken ill in Morecambe and Lancaster.

In recent weeks, our officers received reports of five teenagers having fallen ill and requiring hospital treatment.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested in Morecambe yesterday (Thursday 25th January) on suspicion of supplying a controlled drug.

He has since been released under investigation.

The force continue to urge parents to be vigilant and will be working with local schools and partners. Hear all the latest news from across Lancashire on the hour, every hour, on 97.4FM, DAB, at rockfm.co.uk, and on the Rock FM app.
