Cumbria Police spokesperson said:
“People need to be aware of the potential dangers of taking illegal drugs. You cannot be sure of what these tablets contain and therefore, in taking them, you are putting your health at risk. Please for your own safety do not take any illegal drugs.”
A 17-year-old male, from Kendal, has been arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a class C controlled substance. He has been released under investigation.
Anyone with information into the supply of drugs are asked to contact police on 101.
