Response

Please see Table (1) for the number of reported drink-spiking cases for the calendar year 2025, including a breakdown by how each incident was reported, location of the incident, gender of the reported victims and the outcome of each report. Where incident locations are recorded as “Unknown”, this information is not held by the States of Jersey Police, thus Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2018 has been applied.
