At least 33 individuals fell ill after taking a synthetic opioid believed to be heroin in Camden, leading to emergency responses from police with 17 requiring hospitalization. Although no life-threatening cases were reported, one man was revived from cardiac arrest due to police intervention. Authorities emphasized the dangers of the substance and urged the community to seek professional help instead of using illegal drugs. Camden Council is collaborating with police and healthcare providers to manage the situation and distribute Naloxone kits for overdose prevention.
