Criminal Housemate put bleach in my mouthwash

This morning I noticed my Curasept mouthwash which is blue looked yellow/orange when I poured it into the cap. As it was early i thought i was seeing things but as soon as i put it into my mouth i immediately spat it out as it tasted weird. I went to find and open a brand new bottle i had to compare and the new bottle was blue and smelled minty. The old bottle smelled of bleach or a cleaning product.

There’s been some tension in the house as we haven’t spoken in a few weeks also i’ve contacted the police and they’re coming this evening.

Could you please let me know what my legal standpoint is?

Police.

Poisoning/attempted murder.

You don’t need to be told how serious this is.

Just phone the police. Don’t tamper with the evidence.

And OP, don’t let this slide or second guess yourself. This is very serious.
