Nine British men have been arrested in a series of raids on a drugs supply network in Ibiza.
The arrests follow a wave of drug raids on the island
Detectives seized cocaine, ecstasy pills, hashish, steroids and laboratory equipment as part of an investigation into drugs supply to the Spanish island's clubs and bars.
Most of the pills found are known as Pink Rock Star, similar to those thought to have caused the death of 20-year-old Briton Jodie Nieman and the poisoning of others in July, said police.

The UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency took part in the operation against a mostly-British gang which travelled to Ibiza to feed the demand from the massive summer influx of clubbers.Detectives arrested three Irishmen and a Pole, as well as the nine British men from Liverpool, Manchester, Plymouth and Croydon.
The majority of the pills seized are known as Pink Rock Star
They are all thought to have been members of one of the island's most active drug supply gangs.They were being questioned by officers from the Guardia Civil on suspicion of various drugs offences.
Police say they have dismantled several other drugs gangs, most of them British.
