Inkster police officers seized more than 3,000 illegal ‘whippets’ from a party store in the city.
Whippets, also known as nitrous oxide chargers, are small canisters intended for use in whipped cream dispensers. They are often misused as a recreational drug, police said. When inhaled, the gas can cause a short-lived high.
The devices were seized from the 25 Hour Party Store, located on Michigan Avenue near John near John Daly is accused of selling whippets to youths.
“We will not tolerate this in our city,” said Police Chief Tamika Jenkins.
The store owner was cited, and the items were confiscated during a raid last week, police said.
