Bath salts bust in Hell's Kitchen

Police at the scene on West 54th Street where officials had suspected a meth lab — cops found illegal bath salts instead.

Something foul is cooking in Hell's Kitchen.

Police raided a West 54th Street co-op and found pounds of the illegal designer drug "bath salts" in a possible drug lab after neighbors complained that apartment smelled of cat urine, sources and witnesses said.

"One officer said, 'I don't want to go in there," said Chelsea Blakeburn, 20, who lives next to the third floor apartment and smelled the stench.

Blackburn said that a neighbor upstairs in the five story walk up — which is two blocks from a police precinct — was the one who called authorities.

Pounds of a white substance, believed to be illegal bath salts, were found in the apartment's refrigerator along with beakers, according to police sources.

Bath salts are a low-grade synthetic drug with effects similar to cocaine and methamphetamine.

A 44-year old man who lives in the apartment is being questioned by police, but has not been charged, police said.

Neighbors describe the man as "bizarre and strange."

DEP has not finished testing the substance and will make a final determination.
