Two teenagers were rushed to hospital after consuming a mixture of alcohol and what is believed to be ketamine.
The pair, aged 14 and 15, were taken to Alder Hey Children's Hospital after becoming "seriously ill" last week. An investigation has been launched by North Wales Police into the supply of "dangerous and illegal" substances in the Flintshire area.
The two incidents are believed to be unrelated. North Wales Police has called the supply of drugs to teenagers as "appalling" and branded the matter "extremely concerning".

Prevention Hub Inspector Geraint Richards said: "Reports of teenagers being hospitalised following drug use is extremely concerning for the community. The supply of illicit substances to children is appalling. Appropriate robust action will be taken against those suspected of any involvement.
"School Liaison Officers are contacting and visiting secondary schools in the local area to educate young people about the dangerous and potentially serious consequences of experimenting with drugs and alcohol. If anyone has any information about either of the above incidents, or the supply of illegal substances, specifically that of ketamine, I urge members of the public to contact police."
Community Services Manager from the Harm Reduction Service, Kirsty Brooke, added: "The best way to stay safe and avoid the risks of using drugs alcohol is to not use them at all. But if you do intend to use alcohol and/or drugs, it is a good idea to make sure you have the right information to help you make safer choices.
"Using any drug can be risky, but mixing different drugs and alcohol together can make the effects of the substances unpredictable and may lead to you feeling unwell."
