Nanaimo RCMP have issued a warning after two women reported having their drinks tampered with at a local nightclub.
Police received a report Wednesday saying the women’s drinks were spiked on April 5 at an undisclosed club.
Drink tampering often involves a drug known as Rohypnol, GHB or ketamine being discreetly added to a beverage.
Within 10 to 20 minutes of the drug being added to the drink, the unsuspecting target may experience a number of physical symptoms including feeling lightheaded, slurred speech or even a loss of consciousness.
Police are reminding bar patrons to not leave their drinks unattended or accept a drink from a stranger.
Anyone with information on the incident, or who has fallen victim to drink tampering, is asked to contact Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345. Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477
