Two students in hospital and a boy arrested for ‘unknown’ vaporizers brought to school

Two students were taken to hospital after using vaporizers brought to school.

Emergency services, including three fire engines, were called to Foxford School in Coventry on Tuesday.

The boy and girl were taken to hospital and the 15-year-old boy was arrested.

The school sent parents a message saying the incident was related to “unknown” vape pens “being brought to school.”

They said: “As some students brought with them vaporizers, the origin of which is unknown, police arrived at the scene to test them.

“As you know, e-cigarettes are not allowed on school grounds and student safety is of the utmost importance.”

An investigation has been launched into the contents of electronic cigarettes.

The entire science block was cordoned off, and emergency service reports were “everywhere.”

West Midlands Police said they interviewed the student, but he has since been released on bail.

The emergency services confirmed that they had taken two students to hospital.

They said: “We received two separate calls to Foxford School and Community Arts College on Grange Road at 11.47am and 12.25pm. Two ambulances arrived at the scene.

“We attended to two patients, a teenage boy and a teenage girl, before they were both taken to hospital for further tests.”

In May, a “terrified” father took his daughter to hospital when a hole ruptured in her lung after she smoked the equivalent of 400 cigarettes a week.

Mark Blight “cried like a baby” when he got the call that his 17-year-old daughter Kyla had fainted and “turned blue” during a friend’s slumber party.

Kyla thought her habit was “harmless” until the morning her lung collapsed because excessive vaping caused a small air sac in her lungs, called a vesicle, to burst.
