A television thriller with a dramatic test to see whether drinks have been spiked or not could lead to a change in local licensing policy.
Members of the council ’s licensing board heard this week of efforts by police to tackle the problem nationally, although they were assured the number of reported cases in Falkirk was “tiny”.
Upper Braes Councillor John McLuckie said he had seen a recent TV drama that showed nail polish changing colour when dipped in a drink that had been spiked and he asked the police’s licensing officer it was “fact or fiction?”
