Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.23.027993
I note you seek access to the following information:
Information gathered as part of Operation Lester in relation to drink spiking reports (not confirmed crimes) by type (i.e. drink, needle) and broken down by borough.
Decision
I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.
Please find below the information that has been collated so far.
Please note that the figures returned represent the number of reports and not confirmed spiking’s.
The number of reports will also contain historic drink spiking reports that predate Op Lester.
Therefore the figures may not be truly reflective of drink spiking crimes identified by Op Lester between July 2022 and December 2022.
