After reports of recent thefts of refrigerant in the area, parents and teens are coming together to talk about drugs and alcohol. A local expert will attend the event tonight to answer questions about the dangers of refrigerant inhalation.
The summit comes just after a local 18 year old was arrested on five counts of larceny for stealing refrigerant for himself and other teens to huff.
Damilola Joseph with WakeMed said, "If they're huffing you can get frostbite to the nose, to the mouth, to the face. You can have brain damage."
The summit is to begin at 6:30 tonight and will be held at Fox Road Elementary in Raleigh.
