Cops warn against 'dangerous' batch of Donald Trump-shaped ecstasy pills

A 'dangerous' batch of Donald Trump -shaped ecstasy pills have hit the streets.

Police are warning the public to avoid the 'high strength' drugs shaped like the US President.

The small orange tablets which bear the likeness of Trump are stuffed with 'extremely high levels of MDMA ' and threaten 'serious risk' if taken.

A 30-year-old man from Luton has now been arrested in connection with supplying the pills.

Detective Sergeant Ryan Barnes said: "Criminals are constantly finding new ways to sell their drugs and make them more appealing.

"We have seen MDMA tablets created to look like a number of culturally popular items before and a recent example of this is the 'Donald Trumps'.

"The 'Donald Trumps' are dangerous tablets that contain extremely high levels of MDMA and could put anyone taking these in serious harm.

"If you come across these or any other type of drug, please do not take them for your own safety, as you can never be sure what these pills contain."
