“There are often some tell-tale signs if a home is being used as a drug house.”
“There are often some tell-tale signs if a home is being used as a drug house, such as lights on at all hours of the day and night, cars and people arriving at odd times, or large drums and other equipment being disposed of at the property.
“This is all about making our communities safer places for residents and their families.
“Any piece of information could help police in their fight against this scourge, so if you know something, say something,” Mr Grant said.
If you think you have information about someone in your community who is manufacturing or supplying drugs, call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 for a confidential conversation.
