Drugs Linked To Death Of Teen In England Found In Co Down

Drugs linked to the death of an 18-year-old male in England last year have been found in Newtownards, Co Down.

Suspected ecstasy tablets with the Rolls Royce logo were discovered by a member of the public on Sunday, 26 June.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "We will be making further enquires to see if we can identify who had them and on this occasion we are fortunate they did not fall into the wrong hands. I know posts about drugs always ignites discussion on both sides but the last thing we want to see is anyone becoming ill regardless of opinion."
