A SECOND teenager has been arrested after a 13-year-old boy was hospitalised after taking suspected MDMA.

Police were called at around 4.30pm on Saturday July 9 to Timperley Metrolink station to reports that a teenage boy had fallen ill.

The boy was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition.

It is believed he took MDMA but further tests to determine exactly what was taken are still to take place.

A 16-year-old boy from the Trafford area was arrested on Wednesday July 20 on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs and has been bailed to August 26.

A 15-year-old boy from the Trafford area was previously arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs and perverting the course of justice.

He was also bailed to August 26.

Detective Inspector Carl Gilbert, from GMP’s Trafford borough, said: “The boy’s condition is currently improving but he is still extremely unwell and we continue to offer our support to the family.

“Please let this serve as a warning to anyone tempted to take drugs – the consequences can be devastating, even fatal.

“The risks are not worth it, so please just think before you go to take something.

“We are continuing our investigation and both teenagers have been assisting with our enquiries. However, I would still urge anyone who has any information about this incident to please call us on 101.”
