    Nitazenes: Deadly Chinese synthetic opioids gripping Britain’s streets

    There is no bias in the original title provided.

    Six people in the UK are dying each week from super-strength street drugs made in China which are up to 500 stronger than morphine, The Independent can reveal, in a terrifying escalation in fatalities.

    Shocking new figures show 75 additional deaths have been linked to new synthetic opioids called nitazenes in the last 11 weeks to 9 May – bringing the death toll to 176 lives lost in less than a year.

    This includes 106 deaths in England, 21 in Wales, 47 in Scotland and two in Northern Ireland since last June, according to the National Crime Agency (NCA).
