In Long Island, situated close to Brooklyn and Queens, a disturbing trend is unfolding—vending machines camouflaged as “Sketch Pens” are secretly dispensing crack pipes, replacing their original purpose of distributing tampons. Priced at $2 each, these machines are instigating security concerns within the community. Although law enforcement has successfully removed three machines, the masterminds behind this operation remain elusive. The Suffolk County Police Department is unwavering in its commitment to investigating this disconcerting phenomenon and addressing the prevalent drug problem. This alarming situation has not only startled residents and officials but has also compounded the pre-existing drug crisis in Long Island. Effective and lasting solutions will necessitate collaboration and active community engagement to ensure the safety and well-being of the region.
