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.
