Six people in Essex die in just three days after taking Class A drugs
SIX people have died in three days in Essex after taking Class A drugs, sparking an urgent warning from police.
Police "can't say for sure" if the drugs are an unusually high purity or a rogue batch of dodgy drugs.He said: "At this stage it's too early to say the time difference between when drugs may have been taken and when those deaths occurred. "The locations of where those deaths have occurred and in such a short period of time is raising the concern."
“At this stage we believe these incidents are contained to the south of the county but part of our enquiries is to see whether other parts of Essex are affected.
