Warning issued over dangerous, high-strength pills following hospitalisations and two deaths in English clubs
News
Warnings have been issued in a number of UK cities about a batch of “extremely strong” blue pills emblazoned with the Tesla logo that are currently in circulation.
Bristol club Motion put out a warning on its social media pages last week after the death of one person, and the hospitalisation of a number of others, at a venue in the city last weekend, which were believed to be related to drugs. “We are aware of some extra strength pills in Bristol,” the post read. “Please be careful wherever you go this weekend – please stay safe and look after each other.”
The Met Police also confirmed over the weekend that a 21-year-old man died in hospital after being taken unwell at London club The Cause in the early hours of Saturday morning. Two others, who were not believed to be known to the man, were also taken ill and were reported to be in a stable condition in hospital.
The Met said a post-mortem test into the 21-year-old’s death had yet to be scheduled, and no arrests had been made in connection with the cases.
Supt Simon Crick, in charge of policing for Enfield and Haringey, said: “There is no safe way of taking illegal drugs, however the incidents overnight have caused us particular concern.
“We urge anyone who bought drugs in or around the nightclub to dispose of these substances as soon as possible.”
The Cause cancelled all of its events for the rest of the weekend, and shared a statement to social media, reading: “We are currently dealing with a medical incident outside of our control and are assisting the Police with all investigations.
