Do you suspect a drug location?
Drug laboratories, processing locations, and storage places pose a significant risk in residential areas and on business premises. Not only the production process but also the storage of chemical substances is dangerous. If you have tips about the presence of such criminal activities, please report them to the police. You can do this via 0900-8844 or through Report Crime Anonymously at 0800-7000. Please also provide information such as license plates, cars, or descriptions of people at the location if possible.
How do you recognize a drug location?
They can be found anywhere; in the countryside or in the big city, in farm sheds, houses, garage boxes, or in apartment buildings. Signs that there may be a drug lab or processing location include the presence of a strong synthetic smell (anise-like or chemically irritating, sour, or acetone). Unused doors and windows are often sealed, for example with spray foam.
