Dangerous Drugs in Our Community

Home-grown marijuana operations or crack labs have become one of the more popular means for supplying local drug dealers with narcotics. These drugs end up in the hands of our children and infiltrate our schools and homes. The damages caused by the use of these illicit drugs tear at the very fabric of our society and can have irreversible effects.

Crime Stoppers is asking for your help in identifying individuals growing marijuana or running or crack labs in our community. Most operations are managed under strictly controlled conditions. Light, water and soil nutrients are closely monitored to ensure maximum plant growth in the least amount of time. Marijuana cultivated under these conditions is more potent and therefore more harmful to its users. Crack labs are far more dangerous operations involving the combining of various very harmful and sometimes volatile products. Electricity is also dangerously rerouted in many cases.

Any combination of the following information may indicate the presence of a marijuana grow operation: blacked out - tin foiled windows, heavy condensation on the insides of windows, very intense bright lights running between 18 or more hours a day, a musty, greenhouse odor, excessive indoor/outdoor electrical wiring, portable generators running for extensive periods of time, additional venting or fans constructed into walls or roofs.
