Police held youth-protection checks on Thursday in the city area of Sulzbach-Rosenberg.[1] During the operation officers checked several juveniles and young adults in what police described as a repeat check.[1] Officers found prohibited e-cigarettes known as vapes as well as marijuana.[1] Police seized and destroyed the items found.[1]

The checks brought to light banned vapes, marijuana and e-scooters travelling too fast.[1] In the same operation officers stopped two e-scooters that had been travelling well over the speed limit and in some cases without insurance cover.[1] The measured speeds were 35 and 50 km/h, and one rider was reported because he could not show the required driving licence.[1]

Officers also detected cannabis consumption near the children’s playground in the Stadtpark and in the immediate vicinity of juveniles.[1] Officers filed reports for violations of the Consumer Cannabis Act over that consumption.[1] Public cannabis consumption is prohibited on playgrounds and within sight of them as well as in the immediate vicinity of minors.[1]
