Delta Police say a 21-year-old man is facing drug charges following a number of fentanyl-related overdoses last year.

Daniel Chesshire has been charged with two counts of trafficking a controlled substance.

Nine young people overdosed within a 20-minute span in September 2016 at four different locations.

Narcan was used to revive eight of them, who thought they were using cocaine.

Chesshire is due to appear in court in a couple of weeks.
