POLICE believe a batch of super-strength ecstasy tablets in the shape of Donald Trump's face may be linked to the deaths of three Scottish teenagers.
The Trump pills, containing the chemical MDMA, were recovered by security staff at the time of two tragedies at the SWG3 club in Glasgow in August.
A Public Health Scotland report, published yesterday, contained a red alert on drug trends issued by Police Scotland.
The RADAR (Rapid Action Drug Alerts and Response) report identified the Trump pills along with others in the shape of logos for Netflix and Twitter as potential killers.
All had been seized at clubs in the west of Scotland at the time of the deaths of Scott Allison, 18, from Cumbernauld, and Marcus Dick, also 18, from nearby Coatbridge, after a dance event at SWG3.
An 18-year-old woman also died at the club on January 2, with drugs the suspected cause.
