Surrey Police launches new service to report spiking
Surrey Police are making it faster and simpler to report incidents of spiking.
They have launched a new service where people can contact them and provide information.
Officers say reporting it quickly is 'critical' as some drugs used in spiking leave the body within 12 hours or much sooner.
However, they still want to hear from any victims no matter how long ago they were targeted.
A statement from Surrey Police said:
"We know it can be scary to report being spiking but please remember you will be listened to.
"Reporting to the police as soon as possible is critical, as some drugs used in spiking leave the body within 12 hours or much sooner.
"That said, we still want to hear about any spiking incident no matter how long ago. Any information given to us about incidents – even anonymously – not only helps us investigate that specific offence but also potentially prevents further victims."
