'We've Got You Covered'- Isle Of Wight Pubs Join Anti-Spiking Campaign

Isle of Wight pubs are among those to have joined the 'We've Got You Covered' campaign, in a bid to crackdown on nightclub spiking incidents.

Stop tops are being introduced on drinks to prevent incidents, which have seen drinks tampered with.

A number of spikings have been reported across the country. In Sussex, three people were arrested last week.

Police are investigating reports of people becoming unwell. Some reported being injected with needles, while others believed something had been put in their drink.

Isle of Wight Radio understands there have not been any cases reported to the police on the Island so far.

In an attempt to keep it that way, Newport's Fever and Boutique and Slug and Lettuce have introduced the foil drink covers.

They are completely free and can be used with a straw.

 

The 'We've Got You Covered Campaign' was started by not-for-profit organisation StopTopps.
