Warning Signs of a Drug House What to Watch For:
 |
High Traffic-cars and pedestrians stopping for brief periods of time. Traffic may be cyclical, increasing on weekends or late at night, or minimal for a few weeks and then intense for a period of a few days-particularly pay days and the first weekend of the month.
|
 |
Visitors appear to be acquaintances rather than friends.
|
 |
People bring "valuables" into the home-TVs, bikes, VCRs, cameras, etc.-and leave empty handed.
|
 |
Visitors may sit in the car for a while after leaving the residence or may leave one person in the car while the other visits.
|
 |
"Lookouts, "frequently younger people, tend to hang around the property during heavy traffic hours.
|
 |
Various obvious things such as people exchanging small packets for cash, people using drugs while sitting in their cars, syringes on the lawn, or other paraphernalia lying about.
|
 |
Regular activity at extremely late hours-frequent commotion between midnight and 4:00AM on week nights. (Both cocaine and metamphetamine are stimulants - users tend to stay up all night.)
|
If you see any of the above activity on a regular basis - please report it to the Newman Grove Police Department at 402-447-2222
