A man and woman feared to have been exposed to an unknown substance
are in a critical condition, prompting police to declare a major incident.
The pair, both in their 40s, were found unconscious in Amesbury, Wiltshire, on Saturday.
While it was not clear if a crime had been committed, the force said, a number of scenes
in Amesbury and Salisbury known to have been frequented by the couple had been cordoned off.

With barely any information you've already ruled out Russia and convicted the British security services. That's some powerful bias you're sporting there. And so confident you've added some sarcasm too. Sweet.

Same here mate. People are dreaming that Russia is a blameless paradise.
"It was initially believed that the two patients fell ill after using possibly heroin or crack coc aine from a contaminated batch of drugs," the force said. "They are both currently receiving treatment for suspected exposure to an unknown substance at Salisbury District Hospital," it added. 'Containing any risk' Wiltshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Angus Macpherson said the police had worked hard at "containing any risk that might be there". "There's no reason to think it's connected with matters of last month," he said. "I haven't seen anything in this incident yet that I would consider to be an overreaction in terms of previous incidents, it all seems fairly textbook." Public Health England said it did not believe there was a "significant health risk" to the wider public, although its advice was being continually assessed. Officials said the hospital was "open as usual" and advised patients to attend routine appointments unless contacted and advised to do otherwise.

This morning many are in disbelief that this has been declared a major incident and that so many reporters from national media have descended on their doorsteps.
Two police cars and three officers are here as Wiltshire Police is yet again dealing with a major incident just a few miles away from where Sergei and Yulia Skripal were found.
