"These drugs may be so called 'legal highs' but there is no way of knowing what chemicals are in these substances and what the consequences of taking them will be.

"We are working closely with the boys' parents and school, and I would strongly encourage parents/guardians to speak to their children about the risks of taking any drugs, legal or otherwise. My officers have commenced an investigation into this incident.

"I would also ask that anyone with information as to where these substances are being sold contacts us straight away."
