'Erratic Behaviour' Reports As Blue Tablets Circulate
Police in Downpatrick suspect multiple reports of "erratic behaviour" in the area may be connected to a batch of unidentified blue tablets in circulation.

The issue came to light on Sunday 24 November
A spokesperson for PSNI Down said: "Police in Downpatrick have received a number of reports of erratic behaviour which may have been caused by people taking unidentified blue tablets. We would like to remind the public that you should not consume any unknown or illegal substances.
