How can I recognize a drug lab?

• In a drug lab, it strongly smells of chemicals, such as solvents (acetone).
• To prevent it from smelling outside, gaps in unused windows and doors are often sealed, for example with spray foam.
• Extraction systems with carbon filters often vent the air through the roof.
• Drug labs are often located near factories or farms that also smell (manure smell). This makes the smell of the drug lab less noticeable.

What should I do if I discover a drug lab?

• Go outside immediately once you suspect you have discovered a drug lab.
• Ensure your safety. Do not assume you are safe if you do not smell chemicals. There is always a risk of toxic substances, an explosion, or fire.
• Call the police at 112. Do this from a safe distance from the lab.
• You can also call Meld Misdaad Anoniem at 0800 - 7000.
• If the situation is safe, note details such as: license plates, cars, descriptions, and unusual activities.
