Police are continuing to investigate the source of a dangerous drug which caused a number of people to hallucinate and act violently on the Gold Coast, Queensland Police say.
Toxicology results have been returned to police today which indicate that those tested ingested a cocktail of amphetamine-type substances (ATS) [including Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)], as well as a synthetic lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), also known as ‘N bomb’.
These tests found no trace of α-Pyrrolidinopentiophenone, known as ‘Flakka’.
21 people were treated by the Queensland Ambulance Service after suffering adverse reactions to dangerous drugs over the weekend.
Police attended eight of those incidents.
Gold Coast District resources including general duties crews, detectives from Criminal Investigation Branches and the Rapid Action and Patrol Group are actively working with the State Crime Command and the Crime and Corruption Commission to detect, disrupt and dismantle drug supply operations.
Anyone with information which could assist with this matter should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously.
