Police investigating organised crime are warning about contaminated cocaine in Londonderry and Antrim.

Officers say users could experience serious adverse effects.

Detective Superintendent Bobby Singleton said:

"All drugs carry risks and have the potential to be a poison.

"I’d appeal to anyone with any information on these or other suspected drugs in their community to contact police on the non-emergency number 101.

"Alternatively people can provide information through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
