Two young men and a woman have been arrested in Christchurch after police discovered a number of drug-induced people in a house this week.
Officers in the area carried out search warrants at two properties in the suburb of Phillipstown on Thursday.
Police arrested and charged a 23-year-old man with
supplying psychoactive substances.
A 21-year-old woman was charged with possession of psychoactive substances for supply. They appeared in the Christchurch District Court today. While a 25-year-old man was charged with obstruction and possession of psychoactive substances. He is due to appear in the same court next Wednesday. Detective Senior Sergeant Sarah Illingworth said it was incredibly concerning when officers found a number of people, in one property, who they believed were under the influence of synthetic drugs.
"They were unconscious or close to it. It was a real demonstration of just how dangerous this drug is,'' she said.
