Police leaders are urging people not to be a bystander when they see this kind of behaviour and to step-up and say something.

‘If they see people do it they need to challenge it and if they don’t feel safe or confident doing that then they need to challenge somebody else.

In cases where someone spikes a friend ‘for a laugh’, they’re more likely to slip an extra shot into their drink than some other kind of drug ‘Sometimes when interrogating the system they’re all slightly different things,’ said Durham Police and Crime Commissioner Joy Allen, who was also at yesterday’s hearing.

It aims to promote honest conversations about the ‘good, the bad and the ugly’ of drug use – cutting through the various moral panics and political lines on the issue. The statistics are concerning, but Allen hopes the wave of spiking stories in the media in October might eventually buck the trend thanks to greater awareness among staff, security and punters.

But Allen disputes this and says police forces are seeing evidence of puncture wounds in victims and medical examinations suggesting a evidence of injections.
