A gentleman’s club, with connections to the Albanian mob, is under investigation after patrons reported being drugged, offered sex in camera-less VIP rooms, and seeing charges totaling up £93,000 on their respective credit card receipts.
According to Mirror UK a customer at Birmingham’s Legs 11 became suspicious when he saw a charge for £9,000 on his card. After reviewing his receipt he reportedly left the club and purchased a home drug kit to test his cocktail which turned up a positive reading for methadone.
The Birmingham City Council report, compiled by trading standards, is recommending the lap dancing club’s licence be suspended, with a decision due on Monday.
Setting out the scope of possible criminal activity, West Midlands Police said they were investigating financial “irregularities” where “large volumes of money were being taken from people’s accounts”.
Superintendent Andrew Parsons said there had been 17 separate allegations totalling £93,042, going back to 2013.
The incidents were caught on the club’s own CCTV where dancers are showing getting the men drunk and encouraging them to use their credit cards.
Showed dancers “gyrating” against a customer’s body, “whipping him in his crotch area” with his belt, and “holding his nose … as if to restrict his breathing”, trading standards officers reported.
The club continues to be under investigation at this time.
