Safety urged after two suspected overdoses within a day in Salmon Arm

Mounties are warning about a potent drug supply found in Salmon Arm.

Police responded to two suspected overdoses over a 24 hour period, and are urging people to not use any illicit substance or drug.

People who do use drugs were advised to carry and know how to use Naloxone.

A specific drug involved in these cases was not immediately identified, but Interior Health did issue a drug alert for Kamloops on October 22 for counterfeit pills being sold as Dilaudid, dillies, or hydromorphone.
