Police in Suffolk will be working in pubs and clubs this weekend in a bid to stop more people becoming victims of a dangerous ecstasy tablet which has been linked to at least two deaths in the county.

Two men died in Ipswich on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve after they are suspected of having taken one of the tablets, which are pink and triangular with a "Superman" logo on them.

Officers are also investigating the death of a third man in Rendlesham, Suffolk.

Earlier this week, police seized more than 400 pills which were found in a public place near Norwich Road in Ipswich.

Adrian Lubecki, 19, of St Matthews Street in Ipswich, has been charged with being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs and possession with intent to supply a Class B drug.

"Our number one priority is to prevent other people suffering the tragic consequences of this dangerous drug. Over the weekend we will be talking to people who are in the bars and clubs in Ipswich to advise them of the danger. We'll also be out and about in the local communities, handing out leaflets and making sure that as many people as possible know not to take these pills."

– Supt Louisa Pepper, Suffolk Police.
