Think you or someone you know has been spiked? Report it!

As national Anti-Spiking Intensification Week continues, we want to reassure our communities that Cleveland Police takes all reports of this offence extremely seriously and we urge anyone affected to report as quickly as possible.

We need to know about every possible spiking incident so we can investigate, even if no other crime has taken place.

If you’re out in a bar or club, you can report to a member of staff, who will be able to help and support you.

If you are injured or have symptoms you are worried about after being spiked, call NHS 111.

If you think you’ve been sexually assaulted, you can contact the Teesside Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC)      Teesside SARC – SARC (sarcteesside.co.uk) for specialist care and support. At a SARC, you can receive a medical or forensic examination (whether or not you decide to report to the police).
