A large amount of the drugs supplied were being sold as MDMA (ecstasy), however some was believed to be eutylone. Photo: SuppliedPolice have arrested four Dunedin men after seizing drugs valued at up to $330,000 in an operation targeting the production and supply of MDMA, ketamine and eutylone. "These arrests and the seizure of drugs from this operation will have a significant effect on supply in Dunedin and will reduce harm." Purchasing or buying synthetic cathinones (as a pill, capsule or powder) greatly increases the chances of accidental overdose. If someone takes synthetic cathinones in an MDMA-sized dose, it can have fatalconsequences.
