Spanish police are investigating a series of cases of women being injected with possibly spiked syringes in crowded clubs. These investigations come following similar incidents in Britain and France.
The attacks have raised fears that sexual predators might have found a variant on spiking drinks to prey on women.
So far, no traces of drugs have been detected by the police and no cases of related cases of sexual violence have been reported.
Over the past couple of weeks, police have registered 23 cases in Catalonia, mostly in the tourist town of Lloret de Mar and in Barcelona, and 12 in the Basque Country.
The accounts given by several victims is eerily similar. A usually young woman is out partying when she feels a needle prick in the arm or leg and then becomes dizzy or drowsy, the Basque police reported.
The police has issued a statement requesting anyone who believes they have been targeted to immediately visit a health centre to report the incident and stay safe and alert.
A rash of “needle spiking” cases was reported in Britain in 2021 and in France this year. However, Spain registered its first attacks in early July, during the Pamplona bull-running festival.
