Eyes down for a line: Increasing numbers of bingo halls testing positive for cocaine amid fears growing numbers of pensioners are turning to the drug
Out of 17 bingo halls tested, seven revealed traces of cocaine in toilets
One, in Bristol, even tested positive for dangerous variant crack cocaine
Figures show spike in OAPs receiving hospital treatment for drug abuse
Bingo hall toilets have tested positive for traces of Class A drugs amid evidence that an increasing number of pensioners are turning to hard drugs in retirement.
Out of 17 bingo halls tested seven showed traces of cocaine, while another had traces of crack cocaine, a more dangerous form of the drug that is smoked, a newspaper investigation revealed.
While the venues do let players as young as 18 in, the majority of attendees are elderly, and the discoveries mirror a spike in OAPs being treated for drug abuse.
