Vapes that look like school supplies and other common objects are an increasing issue in Texas classrooms.
SAN ANTONIO - School supplies are a common sight this time of year. Families are stocking up on pens, pencils, and more for kids to take to the classroom. But hidden among those supplies, some students are packing devices that aren't meant for school at all.
The I-Team put our news crew to the test to see if they could spot some of these vapes. Most were able to pick up on the fact that some of the school supplies looked a bit different. They chose the pen that seemed wider than usual and highlighters that weren't the usual brand names, but most said that none of the items jumped out as vapes.
These are just a few of the traditional vapes the Northside ISD Police Department has taken into evidence, but others hide in plain sight... "What does that say to you that these vapes are being disguised as things like school supplies?"
