YOUTH FACES NARCOTIC CHARGES

A number of local teens have fallen ill after taking ecstasy pills and
a youth who allegedly sold them is facing charges.

On Monday afternoon, Windsor police were notified that four teens had
taken ill after taking ecstasy pills. The youths went to the
Metropolitan Campus of Windsor Regional Hospital where they were
treated and released.

Officers with the drug enforcement unit investigated and a youth was
arrested at an east end home Tuesday.

A small quantity of ecstasy pills was seized and the youth is facing a
charge of possession of a narcotic for the purpose of
trafficking.

The pills are small, about the size of an aspirin, and are light blue
in colour.

Police say they do not know how many of the pills have been sold and
are warning anyone who may have them not to ingest them.
