RCMP in Vernon are warning users of illicit drugs to be very careful after six reported overdoses in the last week, two of them fatal. Spokesperson Gord Molendyk says it appears there's a potent batch of bad drugs on the street at the moment. "On December 30, our officers attended a sudden death of a 49 year old man who is known to use drugs who reportedly died of asphyxiation.The Coroner's Service is still investigating that file," says Molendyk. Three men are recovering in hospital after suspected overdoses all on January 2, while a day later, a 29 year old was found dead in bed with drug paraphernalia next to him. "The Coroner's Service is investigating," adds Molendyk. A woman found unresponsive at a local shelter is also recovering is hospital after she used heroin mixed with Fentanyl. "The Vernon North Okanagan RCMP want to warn those of our community that use illicit drugs to be very careful it appears that there is a very potent or what is termed as a bad batch of drugs out there," says Molendyk."With six reports that we are aware of in the past week police are asking friends and family members of those who are known to do illicit drugs in our community to be very mindful and speak to them about this. Those who suffer addictions sometimes have a hard time to avoid them."
