The Barnstable Police Department has recently received another report of patrons at a local bar feeling the effects of possible “date rape drugs”. Although there have been no assaults reported at this time, members of the Barnstable Police Department have been actively investigating these incidents.  As a result of the ongoing investigation, information has been developed that the method of ingestion of these drugs may not just be drinks, it is possible that the substance is being delivered via altered “vape” cartridges.  Based on this new information the Department is urging individuals that are gathering in social settings to not only keep a close watch on their beverages, but to also avoid sharing or using “vape” cartridges from unknown people.  

If you have any information regarding individuals or establishments selling or distributing altered “vape” cartridges please contact Detective Andrew Johnson at johnsona@barnstablepolice.com, Detective Spencer Jackson at jacksons@barnstablepolice.com, or the Barnstable Police Detective Unit at 508-778-3820.

Camp Edwards, Joint Base Cape Cod – This Friday, June 10, and Saturday, June 11, Army National Guard soldiers will be conducting training exercises during the nighttime hours. Small arms firing may be heard as late as 2:00am Saturday and midnight Sunday. Night exercises are a necessity for soldiers as it provides realistic scenarios that prepare them to be ready, reliable, and relevant to support national security directives across the globe.    

Although the small arms fire may not be heard outside the base boundary, this notification is part of the commitment made by the Massachusetts National Guard to notify the community of unusual noise occurrence at the base. This sound activity will not represent a safety hazard to the community or base personnel.     

The Massachusetts National Guard Environmental & Readiness Center is notifying neighboring police, fire, and community leaders to ensure that the public is aware of this activity before it occurs.
