Drugs charity Addaction has issued a stark warning about a drug with the name 'DUPLO' after it claimed the life of 1 teenager and hospitalised 3 others during the weekend of 7/8 July.

15-year-old Shakira Pellow, from Camborne, is believed to have died after taking 'DUPLO' and then suffering a heart attack.

If people come into contact with the tablets (pictured above), the charity is urging them to hand them to Police so that they can be disposed of in a safe manner.
