'MAZZA VAPES'

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding 27. Other - Please provide details below, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Police are aware of community concerns regarding the use of illicit ‘Mazza’ vapes over recent days, particularly in the east of the county and amongst young people.

A ‘Mazza’ vape is often sold purporting to contain THC but commonly contain other dangerous and synthetic drugs and additives.

Several suspected Mazza vapes and vape liquids have been seized this week after members of the public raised concerns that they may contain traces of fentanyl.

Officers have since carried out tests on these liquids, and the results have shown no traces of fentanyl or anything illicit.

Despite these results, we would like to remind parents and young people that illegal vapes and vapes of unknown origin can be extremely dangerous.

It is illegal to sell vapes to those under the age of 18, or to buy a vape for anyone under the age of 18.
