“It’s horrible seeing people in this state collapsing in our town.

“I’m talking specifically about Mamba here, this is not aimed at the small street level dealers. I’m talking about the supplier’s who are bringing it here.

“Find another way to make a few quid lads. It’s nothing personal but you’re killing and hurting friends for a quick easy raise.

“This stuff is just too bad.

“We don’t need this horrible epidemic in our town where our families live.”
