AUTHORITIES RAID PARTY DRUG SUPPLIER

A Timaru supplier of the party drug One4b was raided by police and 
Health Ministry officials yesterday. They took away bottles of a 
solution for cleaning compact discs and electronic heads, and sachets 
of One4b from Alphaware NZ.

A company spokesman said the company supplied the product to several 
distributors, including Auckland-based Outerspace, which has been 
distributing One4b, responsible for four hospital admissions in the 
past week.

Ministry communications manager Peter Abernethy confirmed the action 
was part of an investigation into One4b. The chemical is a commonly 
available industrial solvent.
