Dundee University is offering support to students, following reports of spiking by injection in the city.
Over the past week a number of women have allegedly being injected with unknown drugs across the country, including reports of people being targeted in the city.
It's a growing problem across Scotland, with Police in Edinburgh are investigating reports a woman was hurt with a needle in Liquid Room in the capital last weekend.
Why Not also says it's aware of reports across the capital, but says it hasn't been directly affected.
Multiple venues further north in Aberdeen have responded to reports of spiking by injecting, stating they have strict safety measures in place to protect customers.
Following reports of people being targeted in Dundee, the University pro-actively released a statement, directing students who may have been affected to support services.
We want to be clear that victims of these spiking injections are not the ones at fault, nobody should have to worry about covering up their body or shielding their drink while out for a fun night with friends.
In a tweet, the university said: "Perpetrators of these acts are to blame and we condemn any behaviour of this nature. It is unacceptable, reprehensible, and ultimately life-threatening."
