POLICE are warning drinkers to watch their glasses after three women in Kendal sought medical help complaining of memory loss.

Crime prevention officer Terry Belshaw, from Kendal police station, said police had been contacted by a concerned Kendal GP who had seen three separate women, all suffering the same symptoms of memory loss.

Mr Belshaw said police were keen to speak to the three women who were unidentified as the GP was bound by patient confidentiality and that they believed there could be a connection between the reports.

"There is a possibility that they have had their drinks spiked, with what, nobody knows," explained Mr Belshaw. "Unless we know who the women are and can establish a pattern find out whether they have been to the same place we cannot tell whether there has been a crime."

Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers on 0800-555-111 or Kendal police station on 01539-722611.
