Drink-spiking prompts raids
Hamilton police searched a number of properties in
an effort to crack down on a growing spate of drink-spiking
incidents.
There have been 22 complaints of drink spiking since
November.
Police say seven women made complaints of rape or sexual
assault after having their drinks tampered with.
Detective Senior Sergeant Glenn Dunbier says a considerable
amount of material seized in the raids is being analysed.
Dunbier says around 25 calls have been received on
a hotline to gather information on drink spiking and
possible suspects.
Hamilton police are to establish a squad to focus on
the growing party drug scene and drink tampering.
