Three Arrested After Weight Loss Jab From Beauty Salon Puts Woman in Intensive Care - Manchester Evening News

Three women from Selby were arrested in May 2025 following a police investigation into weight loss injections linked to a woman's intensive care treatment.
The investigation began after a 58-year-old woman suffered suspected internal injuries from a slimming injection allegedly sourced from a salon, prompting police action.
Authorities detained two women from Selby, aged 32 and 37, on allegations related to the administration or use of a harmful substance, while a 58-year-old woman was taken into custody for allegedly distributing a prescription-only medication.
Officials warned that weight loss medicines bought outside legitimate pharmacies may not meet safety standards and could put health at serious risk, with Deputy Director Morling stating these drugs are "powerful medications" requiring professional supervision.
All three women have been released on bail while the investigation continues, and authorities urge the public to report related information and consult healthcare professionals before using weight loss medicines.
