'Hundreds will die from drug'

- ISAAC CROWSON

DRUGS linked to around 180 deaths in the UK are being sold on an app popular with teens.

Experts fear nitazenes - said to be 100 times stronger than heroin could kill hundreds more people at parties and music festivals this summer.

They are being sold online as pills that look like ecstasy tablets and it is feared revellers will unwittingly take them and overdose.

Dealers can get the drugs in the post from sellers whose listings we found on the mobile phone messaging app Telegram.
