A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs after six people were hospitalised after taking UPS logo ecstasy tablets at a Middlesbrough nightclub.
The 17-year-old male has now been bailed pending further inquiries.
All six young people who were treated at James Cook University Hospital after a “RIFF RAFF” night in the Medicine Bar on Corporation Road on Saturday night have since been discharged from hospital.
Cleveland Police have confirmed they are currently investigating the source of the tablets and are appealing for people to come forward with any information that could help in their investigation.
The force also issued a photograph of the tablets so that parents and young people are aware of what they look like and ensure they avoid them.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: “Inquiries are ongoing to establish how the drugs came into the possession of those affected by them and we would encourage anyone with information regarding them to contact police on 101 or call the confidential drugs hotline on 0800 092 9702."
