Local Chief Inspector Amanda Thomas said: “The circumstances surrounding these incidents are still under investigation, but we believe they are both drug-related.
"These incidents clearly cause us serious concern and we believe there is a need to issue a warning to those who do take illegal drugs to be aware, refrain from their use and seek immediate medical attention if they begin to become unwell.”
