A Perth schoolboy has been charged with manufacturing and selling gummy lollies laced with cannabis which left two teenagers in hospital and sparked an unusual urgent public health warning.
On Wednesday evening, WA Police issued an alert for urgent broadcast asking “any students from western suburbs schools who have purchased or been given gummy lollies in recent days to not ingest them”.
Police said a student from a secondary school in the area had been found in possession of gummy lollies believed to be laced with THC.
