Strip club shut after claims customers lost £250k after alleged spikings
Police logs shared with the council show one victim claimed he woke up in a brothel after visiting the club. Later, he said he realised £98,000 had been transferred from his bank accounts.
He said he remembered drinking, dancing and being led to a separate area, but said he had no other memories until he woke up in a street near his home the next day. A police report read: "The victim does not know how he arrived at these locations or how he has returned home."At a council licensing committee meeting on Monday, Vanity Soho's lawyer Gary Grant said men who visited the venue had come up with excuses to make to their loved ones.
"It is not uncommon during allegations for those men to say: 'I'm sorry it wasn't me, I must have had my drink spiked and that explains why I spent our summer holiday money on strippers.'"The Met's lawyer said Vanity had a "heavy burden" for letting people leave the premises in a vulnerable position, regardless of whether they had been spiked.
