Police have issued a warning about drink spiking ahead of New Year's Eve celebrations. Manchester city centre is expected to be bustling, in the first restriction-free festive period since the pandemic.
Officers have urged revellers to remain 'extra vigilant' and know what steps to take if they suspect drink spiking or any other crime when out enjoying the celebrations.
Steps include urging people not to accept a drink they haven't seen being prepared, socialise and stay with trusted friends, not leaving their drinks unattended and reporting anything suspicious to staff and the police.
