Appeal following report of double spiking

We are appealing for information after two women were spiked on a night out in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

The victims were in Yates, on Ironmarket, between 10pm and 11pm on Saturday (18 October) when the incident happened.

Detectives are investigating and are asking for anyone who saw anything suspicious to come forward.

Anyone who saw what happened, or anyone with relevant information, should contact us on 101 quoting incident number 235 of 20 October.

To report anonymously, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

If you're heading out and you notice something suspicious, please report this behaviour to us as soon as possible so that we can investigate and take action against anyone committing offences in Staffordshire.

It can be difficult to know if someone has spiked you as symptoms vary depending on what someone has spiked you with. They can be similar to having consumed excess alcohol.
