Police are urging caution after three people were found dead together on Sunday afternoon in Littleton.
“These deaths highlight the dangers associated with drug use,” said Littleton Police Chief Paul Smith in a news release. “I also want to urge the public to be aware that these and other recent overdoses may be linked to a hazardous substance currently circulating in the region.”
Smith urged those facing addiction or their loved ones to seek assistance from helplines such as 211.
Police did not identify the decedents, but said they were a 29-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, both from Dalton, and 24-year-old man from Littleton.
The Littleton Police Department said its goal was to criminally charge those responsible for the sale of narcotics to the deceased.
