Junkie food restaurant

SHOCKING images have emerged of used needles and other drugs equipment scattered on the floor of a fast food outlet.

A horrified customer made the disturbing find when they went to use the Burger King toilets at Donegall Place in Belfast city centre.

Needles, painkiller­s and other drugs parapherna­lia can be seen among overflowin­g bins. The images have been highlighte­d by the Communitie­s Against Death Dealers group. What appears to be heroin residue also can be seen within a partially-used needle and on the floor, while mirrors were smashed and toilet paper dispensers partially ripped off the walls.

The Mirror contacted Burger King representa­tives a number of times over a 24-hour period but there was no response.

Last month it was revealed there have been 37 drug-related deaths in Belfast in the past nine months.
