'I lost my trust in society after I was spiked'

A Kent councillor said he lost his trust in people after becoming a victim of spiking.

Dean Burns, 50, from Ashford, said the incident - which damaged his body and left him with anxiety and depression - happened in a pub with friends.

Now he wants to raise awareness of the crime and how it can be prevented.

"It just happened so fast," said Mr Burns, a Reform UK councillor for Ashford East on Kent County Council.
