End of twitter postWarning over heroin cut with powerful anaestheticpublished at 14:52 British Summer Time 20 April 2017
A safety warning has been issued in Yorkshire after several deaths which may have been caused by illegal street drugs mixed with a super-powerful anaesthetic.
Police say the deaths have been largely linked to heroin use, which may have been cut with a powerful drug called Fentanyl.
Officers say they've tested some samples of drugs seized in our region and found traces of the substance which is used to stop pain after operations and which is "significantly more powerful" than morphine.
West Yorkshire Police says it's too early to link the drug to the recent deaths of people in the Humber region, Cleveland and West and South Yorkshire.
Quote MessageWe are urging people who use Class A drugs to be extremely cautious in relation to what they are taking."
