Police are investigating an alleged spiking incident over the weekend at a popular barin Heywood.

The female victim was approached by an unknown man at the bar at the Dressers Arms pub

Later, she started to feel dizzy and ill.

The next morning she had an unexplained mark on her thigh which she did not have the night before that resembled an injection mark from a needle.

Police are looking to speak to a black male, approximately mid 20s, of slim build with short black hair who was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans.

Detective Inspector Sam Taylor, of GMP’s Rochdale Criminal Investigation Department, said:

“Spiking is a horrible experience for anyone and we encourage everyone on a night out to have fun, but remain alert and if anyone sees anything suspicious to report it to us right away.

“Operation Lioness is running throughout the summer to help ensure those on a night out are protected and supported.

“There will be extra, dedicated patrols of uniformed and plain clothes officers in hotspots across Greater Manchester this summer to help detect and deter offences.”
