Two UCLA students reported being drugged at recent parties on Gayley Avenue, according to a report from campus police Monday.
The Daily Bruin notes that many UCLA fraternities are housed on this street.
Police said on Thursday, Oct. 3, one student attended three parties on Gayley Avenue and developed symptoms they do not believe were from alcohol.
The other student who came forward said they attended a party on Saturday, Oct. 5, in the 600 block of Gayley Avenue.
At this party, the student said they were handed a drink and developed symptoms that did not seem to be from alcohol or marijuana.
The student then sought medical treatment at a nearby emergency room.
Police are investigating this incident as an off-campus aggravated assault and use of drugs.
The department did not provide a suspect description.
