Police were investigating reports yesterday that women have had their drinks spiked in bars.

Now officers have appealed for public assistance after social-media postings suggested that “foreign substances” had been slipped into women’s drinks.

A spokesman said that “any information was welcome, and persons with details identifying victims, suspects and locations” should contact Detective Inspector Mark Clarke at the Vulnerable Persons Unit on 247-1739, by e-mail at mclarke@bps.bm, or call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-8477.

The spokesman added: “It should be noted that to date there have been no reports of this nature recently submitted to the police.”
