👀 How to Spot Drug Activity

You can help by being aware of the signs. Common indicators include:

Frequent visitors to a property at all hours, often staying only briefly
Strong smells (e.g. cannabis) coming from a property or vehicle
Blacked-out windows, or curtains always closed
Excessive security measures (e.g. cameras, reinforced doors)
Discarded drug paraphernalia such as small bags, foil, syringes
Anti-social behaviour linked to a specific location
Sudden changes in a neighbour’s behaviour or lifestyle

If you notice any of these signs, please report it.
