Umkomishinala wamaPolisa kunye noLwaphulo-mthetho ku-Surrey David Munro uye wacela i-Ofisi yaseKhaya ukuba ithathele ingqalelo amanyathelo angxamisekileyo ekujonganeni nokunyuka kokusetyenziswa kokuzonwabisa kwe-Nitrous Oxide.
I-PCC ithe iinkonkxa, ezaziwa 'njengerhasi ehlekayo', kulula kakhulu ukuzibamba kwaye ukusetyenziswa kwazo phakathi kwabantu abatsha kuya kuba yinkxalabo ekhulayo eSurrey.
Nangona unikezelo lwe-Nitrous Oxide ngeenjongo ze-psychoactive alukho mthethweni - ifumaneka ngokulula kwiyeza elisemthethweni, ukubhaka okanye i-aerosols kwaye inokuthengwa lula kwi-intanethi okanye kwiivenkile zepati.
I-PCC yabhalela uMphathiswa wezobuPolisa uKit Malthouse ekuqaleni kwale nyanga icela i-Ofisi yaseKhaya ukuba iqwalasele ukufunda kwiinguqu zomthetho zamva nje kwezinye izinto ezisebenza kwengqondo ekuqwalaseleni ikhondo lesenzo sokuthatha i-Nitrous Oxide.
Ubalule ukuxhalaba okunyukayo kwiziphumo kwimpilo kunye nokuziphatha kwabantu abatsha abaphefumla irhasi kunye nefuthe elibi kubahlali bendawo njengezizathu zokuba kuqwalaselwe lo mba.
UMphathiswa wezobuPolisa uye waphendula kule leta esithi urhulumente uthatha amanyathelo asebenzayo ukulungisa lo mba kwaye echaza umthetho okhoyo kunye nesikhokelo esinikwe abathengisi ukuba banike ingqwalasela ekhethekileyo kwizinto ezinokubakho zokuxhatshazwa ngabathengi. Oku kubandakanya imfuneko yokukhusela ukhuseleko lwabantu abatsha kunye namaqela asengozini.
I-PCC uDavid Munro uthe: "Ndithetha nabahlali rhoqo kulo lonke ilizwe kwaye ndihlala ndisiva ukuba ukusetyenziswa kweNitrous Oxide kubangela inkxalabo yokwenyani kwiindawo ezininzi.
“Amagosa ebhunga lengingqi ahlala ecoca inani elikhulu leenkonkxa kwiipaki zasekuhlaleni kwaye ukusetyenziswa kwazo ngokucacileyo ngamaqela abantu abatsha kunempembelelo embi kwezinye iindawo zasekuhlaleni.
"Ngelixa amaqela amapolisa esebenzela ukuthatha inyathelo lokuphendula kuzo naziphi na iingxelo zokuziphatha okuchasene noluntu - banqongophele kakhulu kwinto abanokuyenza malunga nalo mba.
“Ezi toti zinokuthengwa ngokulula nangexabiso eliphantsi kwi-Intanethi okanye kwezinye iivenkile ukuze ukubathintela ekwabelwaneni nasekusetyenzisweni kunzima kakhulu. Ukuvavanya oku, mna ngokwam ndaya kwi-intanethi kwaye ndakwazi ukuthenga ezinye ukuze zisiwe kwidilesi yasekhaya ngaphandle kweetshekhi.
