New Westminster police have arrested a suspect that they believe sold the drugs that killed a teen girl earlier this year.
Sixteen-year-old Angel Loyer-Lawrence and her friend both overdosed after taking drugs they bought from a street dealer back in May.
Loyer-Lawrence died, while her friend was hospitalized.
The incident prompted police to issue an urgent public warning about the substance, which they suspected at the time was a new, unknown drug.

Lab tests later found it to be MDMA.
Police have recommended two charges of trafficking in a controlled substance to Crown counsel.
The suspect has not been identified, pending approval of charges, and has been released on a promise to appear in court.
