Police have issued fresh advice to clubbers after two women allegedly had their drinks spiked.
A man has been arrested in connection with the incident which took place sometime late last night and into the early hours on this morning at the Fever and Boutique nightclub in Newport on the Isle of Wight.
The 30-year-old man from Sandown remains in custody.
Following the incident, Hampshire Constabulary have issued the following advice:
If you are out in a group, look after each other;
Don't leave drinks unattended. Carry them with you when dancing and take turns to go to the loo;
Be wary of accepting drinks from strangers - if you have a drink bought for you, make sure you take it directly from the bar staff;
Keep an eye out for anyone in your group who appears more drunk than the amount of alcohol they have consumed would warrant - we all know our reaction to alcohol and if you or they feel ill or drunker than expected, your drink may have been tampered with – at this point raise the alarm.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call police on 101.
