A TAUNTON nightclub is among the first in Somerset to use a new safety device for its customers.
Dellers Wharf nightclub has introduced free 'Spikeys', a gadget that prevent drinks from being tampered with.
They are brightly coloured plastic stoppers that glow in ultraviolet light so everyone can see that the drink has been protected.
Martin Barrington, manager of the Wharf, said: "While the risk of having a drink spiked is thankfully small, the Wharf is committed to creating a totally safe environment for our customers to relax and enjoy themselves.
"The Spikey will play an integral role in achieving that, along with our highly trained door staff and CCTV security."
