Flagler officials seize nearly 200 prohibited vape devices

What happened

Flagler County officials seized nearly 200 vaping devices identified as prohibited. The seizure is a completed local enforcement action in which officials took physical custody of the devices.

The total has been described as nearly 200 rather than as an exact count.

What a seizure means

A seizure differs from a warning or notice because the items are taken into official custody. The action does not by itself explain what will ultimately happen to the devices.

The legal basis for treating the devices as prohibited, the agency or agencies that carried out the seizure and whether the action involved a single location have not been publicly detailed.

Next steps

Further official records could establish the precise number and types of devices seized. An agency notice, inventory or case record could also identify the rule used in the enforcement action and explain how the devices will be handled.
