(about 4 hours later) | |
Police in Lancashire have warned people "not to experiment' with a new type of ecstasy after two men were hospitalised in Lancashire. | |
The men were taken to Royal Preston Hospital on 28 June after taking tablets known as Green Rolexes. | |
Det Ch Insp Neil Ashton said there was a "clear danger" in taking the drugs. | |
A link between a similar green tablet and eight deaths in Northern Ireland has now been ruled out. | |
"We are warning people who are looking to buy or who are taking these drugs to consider the significant consequences," he said. | |
"An investigation is under way to establish the source of these tablets and those who are supplying them [and] we would appeal to anyone with information to come forward." | "An investigation is under way to establish the source of these tablets and those who are supplying them [and] we would appeal to anyone with information to come forward." |
