Two underage teenagers have been left seriously ill after taking drugs and alcohol. North Wales Police has launched an investigation following the "extremely concerning" incidents which left a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old needing hospital treatment after taking suspected ketamine.
Both youngsters, from the Flintshire area, were taken to Alder Hey Hospital on Merseyside last week in separate - and unrelated - incidents and officers are appealing for help from the public with their enquires. They specifically want to speak to anyone with information about these incidents or the supply of illegal substances in the area.
Prevention Hub Inspector Geraint Richards said: "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.
