    Our ref: 2387/21 Figures for incidents of drink spiking in your region over the last 5 years (year by year) I would appreciate it if the figures can be broken down to the nearest city/town. Can you also tell me the number of prosecutions there have been for the above offences and how many of those resulted in a conviction? Please see the attached document. West Yorkshire Police receive reports of crimes that have occurred following a victim having their drink spiked, crimes such as rape, sexual assault, violence with or without injury and theft. West Yorkshire Police take all offences seriously and will ensure that all reports are investigated. Specifically for victims of rape and serious sexual offences, depending on when the offence occurred, they would be offered an examination at our Sexual Assault Referral Centre, where forensic samples, including a blood sample for toxicology can be taken, with the victim’s consent, if within the timeframes and guidance from the Faculty for Forensic and Legal Medicine. West Yorkshire Police work with support agencies to ensure that all victims of crime are offered support through the criminal justice process, including specialist support such as from Independent Sexual Violence Advisors. Recorded crime relating to spiked drinks, 01/01/2016 to 31/12/2020 Notes Data represents the number of crimes recorded during the period which: - were not subsequently cancelled - contain the search term %DR_NK%SPIK% or %SPIK%DR_NK% within the crime notes, crime summary and/or MO - specifically related to a drug/poison/other noxious substance having been placed in a drink No restrictions were placed on the type of drink, the type of drug/poison or the motivation behind the act (i.e.

    BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION WWW.BDRGA.NET B.D.R.G.A. HANDBOOK 2019 BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION The following is an extract from the MINUTES of the inaugural Meeting of the new ASSOCIATION, which was referred to as THE BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION dated 9th April 1948. “Invitations to attend this Meeting had been sent out by a small Committee of the Bradford Moor Golf Club, and the response was very encouraging. There was an attendance of 28 and eleven Clubs were represented as follows:- South Bradford, Bradford Moor, Otley, Cleckheaton, West Bowling, Woodhall Hills, Queensbury, Thornton, East Bierley, West Bradford and Phoenix Park. The Chair was taken by Sam Chippendale Esq. of Bradford Moor Golf Club and he extended a hearty welcome to all the visitors”. There followed a discussion: “Mr Chippendale was asked whether the Association would have the support of the West Riding Rabbits Golf Association as it was felt that such support and approval would be necessary if both Associations were to prosper. The Chairman said that he had the goodwill of the West Riding Rabbits but assured those present that our Association would be a separate entity from that body and would only be affiliated to it. Thereupon a proposal was made by the Cleckheaton Representative, and seconded by the South Bradford Representative that “The Bradford & District Rabbits Golf Association” be, and is hereby formed, and this was carried without opposition. It was agreed by Members of the Association that an ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Association would be held at a suitable venue on April 30th 1948.” THE BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION CONSTITUTION AND RULES The name of the Association shall be “The Bradford & District Rabbits Golf Association“, affiliated to the Yorkshire Rabbit Golf Association.

  • SHIPLEY TIMES and ADVERTISER 1910 to 1945
    SHIPLEY TIMES AND ADVERTISER 1910 to 1945 1 10 January 1913 FOUND DROWNED IN THE CANAL At the Manor House on Tuesday, the District Coroner, Mr E H Hill, held an inquest in reference to the death of John Bancroft (24), a woolcomber of 10 Croft Street, Keighley, whose body was recovered from the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near to the Victoria Bridge, Shipley, on Sunday afternoon. Evidence of identification was given by Thomas Bancroft, an iron moulder of 12 Chatsworth Street, Keighley. He said the deceased was last at home on December 13th, when he left to go to his work at Shipley. He lived with his sister, and was quite well and hearty. Mrs Annie Thomas, wife of Joshua Thomas, woolcomber of 14 Raglan Street, Bradford Arms, said the deceased worked at the same mill as her husband. On December 14th, as her husband did not return home, she went in search of him and found him in the company of John Bancroft. Both her husband and the deceased came to her house together. In reply to the Coroner, who asked as to their condition, witness said they had had something to drink, but they knew what they were doing. She provided them with food, and after he had had a sleep, deceased left the house to go home. It was raining hard at the time, and witness asked deceased if he would be all right, to which he replied in the affirmative. The Coroner : You had some doubt as to whether he could manage by himself? - Yes.

  • YORKSHIRE EVENING POST 1901 to 1920 1 13 March 1901 a TOWING
    YORKSHIRE EVENING POST 1901 to 1920 1 13 March 1901 A TOWING PATH TRAGEDY A strange accident occurred on the canal at Selly Oak, Birmingham, yesterday. A horse which was towing a coal barge took fright and bolted. The rope snapped, and the loose end twisted round the neck of a young boatman named Ricketts. He could not free himself, and was dragged into the water and drowned before the horse was pulled up half a mile away. 2 16 March 1901 AN EXCITABLE ARMLEY GIRL ATTEMPTS SUICIDE AFTER A LOVERS' QUARREL At the Leeds Police Court today, before Mr Fred R Spark, Mr J Hepper and Mr J Kirk, Emily Marshall (20), who lives with her mother at 9 Albany Street, Whingate, Armley, was charged with having attempted to commit suicide. Late last night, the girl jumped into the river Aire near Leeds Bridge. A boatman named Stead heard her screaming, and dragged her out of the water with a boat hook. She was very excited, and told Police-constable O'Beirne that she had had a falling out with her young man, who refused to speak to her. She further said she would “do it again”. The girl was taken to the Infirmary, still in an excitable state. Mr Hartley, of the Infirmary staff, said prisoner ought to be under supervision. She evidently firmly intended to attempt suicide again if she got the chance. The girl's mother said her daughter's young man came to her house last night before this affair occurred, and said he had seen Emily, but did not say anything further.
