Three in hospital after taking drug thought to be MDMA

At least three people have been hospitalised after taking a substance believed to be MDMA at a warehouse party in East London.

Some revellers suffered "extreme reactions" after taking the drug, the BBC reports.

London24 has also reported that party goers were sold "fake" MDMA and the Metropolitan Police have warned anyone who bought drugs at the rave in Beckton to not take them, releasing a statement saying that the "consequences could be potentially life-threatening."

This comes a month after police warned against taking pink Superman pills in circulation in Scotland.
