Warehouse Ballarat says patrons used 500 drink lids in first weekend, which have made patrons ‘feel a lot more safe’

Ash Ibraheim, who owns Warehouse Ballarat as well as almost a dozen venues around, said reports of spiking had never been so “rampant and repeated” as at they had been at the nightclub.

“Kids haven’t been out in quite a while and some have been insulated from 17 to 20. They haven’t had schoolies, formals, socials, and they haven’t had that proper education.The lids, made of a recyclable foil, cost around the same price to bulk buy as a plastic straw. Ibraheim ordered an initial 5,000, and said about 500 were accepted by patrons in their first weekend in action.

There were 16 drink spiking offences recorded in Victoria between January 2016 and 31 December 2020, but official numbers are likely to be much higher due to a lack of verifiable data.
