Methamphetamine Manufacturing in Kansas
Indicators
of Methamphetamine
Manufacturing
-
Strong
smell that might resemble urine or unusual chemical smell like
ether, ammonia or acetone.
- Little
or no traffic during the day, but lots of traffic at extremely late
hours.
- Extra
efforts made to cover windows or reinforce doors.
- Residents
never putting out their trash or instead burn their own trash.
- Lab
materials surrounding the property (lantern fuel cans, red chemically
stained coffee filters, clear glass jugs and duct tape).
- Vehicles
loaded with trunks, chemical containers or basic chemistry paraphernalia
- glassware rubber tubing, etc.
- Laboratory
glassware being carried into the residence.
- Inhabitants
smoking outside due to the fumes.
Barns, outbuildings, hotel and motel rooms, apartments, storage sheds,
garages and vacant buildings are common places where meth is produced.
Remote locations are often chosen to hide the smell from the chemicals
needed to make the drug.
Hazardous chemicals may be dumped on the ground or in nearby streams
and lakes, or simply left behind. These toxic waste products can remain
for a long time as residue on bathtubs, toilets or sinks. As an example,
motel rooms and apartments that are used to make meth can be a health
risk to the next unsuspecting tenants.
