The public is urged to be cautious after a quantity of tablets was found on County Down’s Cloughey beach on Wednesday afternoon (3 April).
Police officers removed ‘a significant quantity’ of suspected Tramadol. The tablets were found in plastic blister packs.
Constable Kingsberry said: “This is a popular beach with families, children and dog walkers. While officers have scanned the wider area and removed items for further examination, we are asking everyone to be vigilant.
“Please be aware of the severe dangers of taking any drugs, or counterfeit medication, which have not been prescribed by your doctor. And please be especially careful when it comes to your children who may be walking or playing on the beach.”
Anyone with information, findings, or concerns, is asked to contact officers on 101.
