A man has been arrested after three suspected drug related deaths in Blackpool.
An investigation is underway following the deaths of two men and one woman in the resort.
A 31 year-old man from Blackpool has been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug, and has been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Detective Inspector Isobel Garratt, of Blackpool Police, said: “Our advice would be for users to seek immediate medical attention if they notice any different symptoms or start to feel unwell.
“There is no safe way of taking drugs, and no way of knowing exactly what you are putting into your body and whether it is safe.”
