Free anti-spiking kits handed out by police

Written By Christine Shen

Anti-spiking kits are being handed out by police to keep people safe while on a night out.

Cumbria Police, Cumberland Council staff and volunteers from the University of Cumbria will be handing out the free kits in Carlisle city centre.

The kits consist of drink protectors - covers which can fit a straw - and testing strips.

Police officers will also be increasing patrols and will be looking for potential offenders targeting vulnerable people.
