Four individuals have been taken into custody in connection with a recent incident in North Devon. Unfortunately, the situation has taken a turn for the worse as a second person has passed away and at least eight others have been hospitalized due to a dangerous batch of heroin making its way around the area.
The Devon & Cornwall Police launched an investigation after discovering an abnormally potent batch of heroin circulating in the region. By midnight on Saturday, a total of eight people had been admitted to the hospital, all believed to have consumed the lethal drug. As a result, two men and two women have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in the supply of a controlled substance.
The severity of the situation led emergency services to declare a major incident on Friday evening. This was done in order to protect the drug-taking community from the threat posed by this dangerous batch of heroin. However, the major incident was called off on Saturday morning, only to be reactivated later that day when a second man passed away from the same substance.
Superintendent Toby Davies, the local policing area commander for North and West Devon, expressed concern for the community and emphasized the need for caution. He also reassured the public that the situation is now under control and that health partners are working diligently to safeguard those who may be at risk. However, he urged any substance users to be extremely cautious and to seek immediate medical attention if needed.
According to the College of Policing, a major incident is defined as an event that requires the response of one or more emergency services and typically involves a large number of people.
