On Long Island, New York, criminals are installing illegal vending machines that threaten local communities. These vending machines, placed in public areas, sell crack pipes. Originally designed to sell tampons, they have been refurbished to distribute crack pipes to the public, including drug addicts and curious children. Police have confirmed the illegal modification of these machines. Their presence poses a significant danger to the community, undermining efforts to maintain public safety and health. Authorities are working to locate and remove these machines to protect residents from the harmful impact of drug paraphernalia readily available in public spaces.
