If you noticed a neighbour suddenly having lots of visitors bringing items such as TVs or bikes but leaving empty handed, would it ring alarm bells with you? What about people turning up at all times of the day and night? Or people waiting in cars outside particular properties exchanging small packets or cash? These could be the warning signs that someone is being cuckooed - when a drug dealer takes over the home of a vulnerable person and uses it as a base to carry out their deals. Held hostage, threatened and abused, it can be almost impossible for a victim to be able to get themselves out of the situation themselves, but the warning signs, as subtle as they may, can often be picked up by neighbours. If you suspect it, report it immediately so we can take action. You can call us, or if you prefer, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 and report 100% anonymously. |
