An increase in vapes contaminated with synthetic drug Spice has led to secondary school children being rushed to hospital.

The lab-made drug which mimics the effects of cannabis but with much stronger consequences, can cause breathing problems, heart attacks and seizures.

Other symptoms include feeling dizzy, vomiting, heart racing, sweating, anxiety, and paranoia.

Police have warned of a national increase in vapes being contaminated with spice in secondary schools and in severe cases children have been taken to hospital.
