POLICE officers in North Wales will be equipped with a “miracle” nasal spray which acts as an antidote to a drugs overdose after two lives were saved during a pilot project
According to North Wales Police, nobody will be forced to carry or use the Naloxone spray but there was “no shortage” of volunteers who wanted to participate.
It has been piloted in Flintshire after 21 people died drug-related deaths in two years - more than a a fifth of the North Wales total.
