A PROBE has been launched after a woman was allegedly spiked by injection at a nightclub in Glasgow.
The incident is alleged to have taken place at Nice N Sleazy's on Sauchiehall Street on Thursday evening.
Detectives have confirmed that they are investigating the claims and are carrying out inquiries into the alleged incident.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Officers in Glasgow are carrying out inquiries into a post relating to an allegation of spiking within a premises on Sauchiehall Street on Thursday, October 14.”
Elsewhere, police have been investigating a series of reports of women being spiked during nights out at different venues across Scotland.
Two women reported to have been injected with a substance in Edinburgh and Dundee, while a third woman claimed to have had her drink spiked in Stirling.
Police said investigations into the Edinburgh incident, which allegedly took place at The Liquid Room on Saturday, October 9, are at an early stage.
The Dundee incident, which allegedly happened at Captain’s Cabin, is also being probed.
It comes after a series of posts emerged on social media in relation to the alleged use of injections to spike women, with multiple people reporting small marks appearing on their backs and arms after nights outs.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
