FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 164124
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 5th April 2022. Please find below the response to your request:
1) How many incidents of drink-spiking were recorded by your force in 2021?
Please search for this data by means of keyword searches of MO codes, using the terms 'spike', 'spiking', 'drink-spike', 'drink spiked', 'spiked drink', while checking to make sure that they don't refer to some other context (e.g. 'a spiked fence' or 'spiked hair').
2) Please tell me separately how many cases of so-called 'injection/needle spiking' were recorded in 2021. That is, reported incidents in which a perpetrator spiked someone by means of an injection, instead of using a pill.
Please search for this data using keyword searches of MO codes, focusing on the terms 'injection' and 'needle', while checking to make sure they do not refer to needles/injections in an unrelated context.
3a) Can you please provide a summary of the first five incidents of drink-spiking in 2021, giving the content of the free-text fields/MO codes in full, while redacting any identifying information?
3b) Can you please provide a summary of the first five incidents of injection/needle-spiking in 2021, giving the content of the free-text fields/MO codes in full, while redacting any identifying information?
