Today, Crimestoppers launches an All-Wales campaign which aims to spotlight the worrying trend in criminal gangs that are using e-cigarettes and vapes to exploit young people criminally and sexually throughout Wales.
Traditionally, gangs have used cash, trainers and food to groom and entrap young people, but with the NHS reporting a 9% rise in the number of 11–15-year-olds vaping, criminals have evolved their tactics and are now using vapes to target young people.
Our All-Wales campaign runs on social media from 10th January – 31st January 2024.
