Cootamundra police are launching their 2012 anti-drug campaign urging the community to contact them next week regarding any local cultivating, processing and sale of cannabis.
Rural Crime Investigator, Det Snr Cst Archie French, is urging people with information about local drug issues to call him directly at Cootamundra Station next Tuesday or Wednesday (7and 8 February 2012) between 5pm and 9pm on 6942 0060, 6942 0061, 6942 0062 and 6942 0063.
"We are asking people living in rural areas to keep a look
out for people or vehicles travelling around remote areas
such as State Forests, National Parks and private properties.
Especially those carrying items such as water tanks, mesh
netting, fertiliser and car tyres," he said.
"Bush walkers, game council hunters and recreational users
are asked to let us know about possible crop sites indicated
by fenced off areas, water pipes, generators, cannabis plants
and camp sites.
"People also grow cannabis hydroponically in houses and sheds
in rural and urban areas. Indicators include lights on for
long periods, covered windows, unusual smells, large number
of persons and vehicles coming and going from the
premises.
"If potential cannabis growing locations are identified
people are asked to record where these areas are and inform
police as soon as possible. Under no circumstances are people
to approach suspected areas or people," Det Snr Cst French
said.
The 2012 anti-drug campaign follows the successful Cootamundra 'take a stand against drugs' and 'take a stand against rural crime' information appeals of 2010 and 2011.
Police are appealing for information from Tumut, Gundagai, Cootamundra, Harden, Boorowa, Young, Grenfell and surrounding areas.
"People may be hesitant to nominate possible suspects but
seemingly insignificant information, when combined with other
information from the public, can provide police with critical
evidence that result in arrests," Det Snr Cst French
said.
Those who can help are urged to give Archie French a call
next week, knowing all information received will be treated
in the strictest of confidence.
