Three more people have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in the drugs’ deaths of two men in south Tyneside.

Callum Taylor, 24, died after an incident at a house in Hampden Street, South Shields, on 27 July.

Ryan Burn, 20, who was also at the house, died a week and a half later.

Twenty people have now been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of drugs. All have been bailed pending further inquiries.

A post-mortem examination on Mr Taylor failed to determine the cause of death. The results of further tests are not expected for a number of weeks.
