“Right now we know that there is something out there that’s putting people in near death situations,” said Camden Metro Police Chief Scott Thompson.

Thompson says heroin at its purest form being sold in Camden caused 15 overdoses in several surrounding towns since Tuesday, 14 of those cases being young people.

“Generally young 20’s,” Thompson said. “We’re talking Washington Township, Cherry Hill and Haddonfield. Heroin doesn’t discriminate who it hooks into.”
