The offences come just one week after a 19-year-old man died due to a suspected drug overdose at a rave in Sydney.

Callum Brosnan, from Baulkham Hills, was found in a ‘distressed state’ at a train station near the event, and rushed to hospital just before 1.30am. 

Mr Brosnan had attended the Knockout Games of Destiny Dance Party in Homebush and was admitted into hospital after a suspected overdose. 

He died little more than three hours later at Concord Hospital, at 4.30am. 

Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting those pictured at the event are in any way related to the supply.
