Detective Sergeant Andy Knowles, the investigating officer, said: “The investigation into this matter remains ongoing and we are keen to find out where these tablets came from and who was in possession of them.

“I’d ask you to cast your minds back to that night, were you in Warehouse? Did you see anything suspicious? If so, I’d ask you to get in touch with us.”

Police are also warning people not to consume such pills as they could be extremely harmful.
