Six people were rushed to hospital after a mass overdose in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
NSW Ambulance paramedics were called to the property about 9.30am on Saturday on Beach Rd in Bondi.
It is understood the initial emergency call was for a drug overdose.
“A crime scene has been established as inquiries into the incident continue,” a police spokesman.
Three people were taken to St Vincent’s Hospital and three were taken to the Prince of Wales Hospital.
The six adults include three men and three women but their ages are unknown.
It is unclear what drug was allegedly involved.
However, NSW Health earlier this week issued a warning for cocaine that had been laced with opioids and was circulating Sydney.
The dangerous substance has been linked to 11 overdoses in the past two months, including two deaths.
