Police have issued a warning about pills that may be circulating in the Carlisle and Wigton area. They believe that they could be harmful to the people that take them.
Officers have received reports of red and white pills believed to be pregabalin and blue pills of an unknown substance, which are having adverse effects on users.
In a press release, they say they 'would urge those who are using or considering using substances that are illegal or have not been prescribed to them to consider the potential consequences.'
'Buying drugs illegally also means there are no guarantees what the drugs bought may actually contain.'
Police are appealing for anyone with information about such sales of prescription drugs to come forward with information.
Anyone with information about drugs supply is asked to contact police on 101, or report online at www.cumbria.police.uk/report-it.
