Weight-loss jab warning after woman hospitalised

Weight-loss injections left a woman in intensive care with suspected internal injuries. 

Police have launched an investigation into the supply of a slimming injection in North Yorkshire that left a woman in intensive care.

Two women, aged 32 and 37, were arrested on suspicion of causing/administering a poison/noxious thing and have been released on police bail. 

The third woman, aged 58, was arrested on suspicion of selling or supplying a prescription-only medicine. 

She has been released while under investigation. 

All the women are from the Selby area.

The woman who used the injection was admitted to hospital earlier this month and treated in intensive care for suspected internal injuries. 

She has since been discharged.

Detectives launched an investigation after being notified by health professionals on 7th May.

The investigation remains ongoing and North Yorkshire Police is urging members of the public to follow advice from health professionals on the safe use of these products.
