Over the Bank Holiday weekend, two people were found dead in Southall, following attendance at a nightclub in South London on Saturday 24 May.
They are thought to have consumed green pills with an '80' on one face and possibly an 'OP' on the other.
This is a picture of the remaining pills which were seized by police:
Ealing Council has issued the following warning:
- The green pills, which are being sold in London, have been found to contain a potent synthetic opioid
- Other pills with different designs or colours may also contain harmful substances.
- Do not take these pills - even in small amounts.
- Consider the potential harm of taking any pills.
- If you use drugs do not take them when you are alone.
- If you or someone else feels unwell after consuming drugs, please seek emergency medical attention, rather than waiting to see if the effects wear off after sleep and re-hydration.
- Naloxone is an opioid overdose antidote - have it to hand if you’re going to put yourself at risk. You can get it from your nearest drug service.
