In the first part of The Sun's new series, Hooked, which reveals the drug epidemics in towns up and down the nation, we visited the embattled city, where deaths caused by monkey dust have chillingly included that of a newborn baby.
Naked men are seen running through the street and shopping centres, screaming in terror as they are 'chased by the Devil' after taking a mind-warping hit of monkey dust.
In the UK, synthetic cathinones, including those referred to as monkey dust, are classified as Class B drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
The synthetic drug — also known as cannibal or zombie dust – makes users wildly hallucinate with terrifying visions of snakes on their bodies or being hunted down by demons.
Dust users are seen begging in the street, shuffling by in the main shopping areas or hanging about in the city's park openly taking the drug.
