Always report suspicious situations!
Drug storage locations pose a significant risk in residential areas and business parks. Not only the production process but also the storage of chemical substances is dangerous. Additionally, buildings where drugs are stored, cut, or traded attract criminals and violence. Help stop the violence and report suspicious situations. Do you regularly see strange people entering and leaving a house at odd times? Are there frequently changing visitors at strange times? Are the windows always darkened with curtains and is it unclear who lives in the house? Then it could be a drug house. You know your neighborhood best. If you see strange or suspicious situations, always report them to the police. You can do this by calling 0900-8844. Prefer to remain anonymous?
