NAKMAS UPDATE – WILTSHIRE POLICE - 19 DECEMBER 2024
NAKMAS contacted the Chief Constable of Wiltshire following a karate event that was held by a NAKMAS-accredited affiliate.
The police referral related to a causal event that followed the karate course, which involved food and refreshments.
Three adults allegedly became ill after consuming a food product allegedly containing an illegal drug. No children were involved, just adults.
As soon as NAKMAS was alerted to this issue, it referred the matter to the Chief Constable to see if she felt it warranted a criminal investigation. The Chief Constable’s office notified NAKMAS and felt that the “Allocations Team do not believe there to be sufficient information for this to be investigated further at this time.”.
NAKMAS will be referring the matter to NAKMAS’ legal team and to the local authority.
NAKMAS advises those adults who became ill to seek an immediate medical examination to check their health, even though it has been several days since the event in question.
