Three women have been arrested after another woman ended up in intensive care following a weight-loss injection.
Two women, aged 32 and 37, were arrested on suspicion of administering a toxic substance. They have been released on bail. A third, aged 58, was arrested on suspicion of selling or supplying a prescription-only medicine. She has been released under investigation.
All three, who are from Selby in North Yorkshire, were questioned after a woman had to be treated for internal injuries earlier this month after using a jab allegedly given to her at a salon in the area. She has since been discharged from hospital.
Two other people are also known to have become unwell, as ITV North of England reporter Amy Welch explains.
