“We work with health services to identify any noxious substances used and victims of sexual offences receive support from specialist officers who deal with these crimes.

“Anyone who believes they may have been spiked should contact police or health services as soon as possible.

"If anybody is concerned about their drink being tampered with, they should also immediately inform bar staff who will assist.”
