A woman and three men aged 17 to 26 were arrested on suspicion of supplying drugs.  They were later released on police bail.

A 20 year old man was then detained after a warrant was executed in St Helier.

Police and Health have issued warnings against the use of MDMA.  

Three people taken to hospital immediately after the death suffering the effects of the drug have since been discharged.
