How it works
Turin's two main nightlife districts — the student-heavy San Salvario neighbourhood and the riverside Murazzi strip along the Po — have reported incidents of drink spiking targeting tourists and solo travellers. Drugs are added to drinks when the victim is distracted, leading to rapid incapacitation and subsequent theft of valuables, phones, and bags. UK government travel advice specifically flags this risk for Italian cities including Turin.
