Action planned in 45 cities amid calls for entry searches, training for bar staff and covers for drinks
Young women are boycotting bars and clubs in 45 cities across the UK over the coming nights to demand action on drink-spiking, as one student who believes she was spiked via injection called for urgent communication between police and hospitals to ensure that physical evidence is gathered as quickly as possible.
Figures released on Wednesday reveal 56 incidents of spiking by injection were recorded by forces in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in September and October, in addition to 198 confirmed reports of drink-spiking.
