Strip club says men made up £250k 'spiking' claims to stop wives and girlfriends finding out

A strip club has been closed temporarily after victims of alleged spiking have lost £250,000. But the venue suggested the spikings could have happened elsewhere and the men were lying to stop their wives and girlfriends finding out.

The victims have complained to police about losing thousands of pounds and waking up in random locations. Police have now shared details of at least 10 reported incidents where alleged victims have checked their accounts to find huge sums missing from their accounts, MyLondon has reported.

One alleged victim told the police £37,500 had been taken from his accounts and two other victims reported waking up the next morning and discovering £30,000 had been taken from them. Both had visited Vanity Bar and Nightclub in Soho, London.
