Known as ‘laughing gas’ or ‘Noz’ it’s released by people into balloons and then inhaled.

It’s illegal to sell the small silver capsules for psychoactive purposes and it was linked to five deaths in the UK last year.

Evidence of it being used elsewhere, like the Symington’s Rec in Market Harborough, has also been found in recent weeks.
