Police have arrested a second teenager on suspected drug offences following the death of a 15-year-old girl who took MDMA.

Leah Heyes collapsed in a car park in Northallerton, North Yorks, on Saturday May 11 after taking ecstasy and died in hospital.

Police today announced the arrest of an 18-year-old man on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

They had previously arrested a 17-year-old boy on suspicion of the same offence.

Both suspects have been released while North Yorkshire Police continue their investigation.

A police spokesman said: “Last night, a second arrest was made by officers investigating the circumstances of Leah’s death.

“An 18-year-old man was arrested and interviewed. He has since been released while under investigation.

“The 17-year-old who was arrested previously has also been released while under investigation.”

Earlier, the spokesman said: “We believe that Leah had taken the drug MDMA – also known as ecstasy or a ‘bomb’ – prior to collapsing and we reiterate our warning to anyone who uses drugs of the potential consequences.”
