Morgantown police make arrest, confiscate vaping materials linked to overdoses

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Morgantown police say they have seized more than 100 charged vape solutions, marijuana, packaging materials, empty vape cartridges and have arrested one juvenile suspect.

Morgantown Police Chief Ed Preston says with the help of other agencies and the Mon Metro Drug Task Force police made the raid today and continue to search for additional pens and/or solution.

Preston says the devices are as “TKO.”

The investigation is still ongoing, and it is believed that there are other brands and types of vape
cartridges in circulation, but the “TKO” is confirmed as one that was contaminated with heroin
and other dangerous chemicals.

Anyone with information regarding this potentially deadly product should turn it in at a school office or the police department.
