Crimestoppers is distributing 'scratch and sniff' cannabis cards across the UK in a bid to help residents identify and report marijuana farms in their area.
The cards will be sent via post and come with a list of 'signs to look out', as well as a paper panel which releases a strong odour of cannabis when scratched.
The move comes as Crimestoppers launches a nationwide campaign to target cannabis farms. A key part of the campaign is to dispel the myth that farms only exist in remote or industrial locations, and to raise awareness of growers in more populated settings.
The main idea behind the so-called 'scratch and sniff' cards is to help residents unfamiliar with the smell of marijuana to be able to identify it, and to encourage them to inform the police if they subsequently believe a cannabis farm may be active nearby.
The scheme will be piloted in 13 areas of the UK where marijuana production has traditionally been highest: Avon & Somerset, Greater Manchester, Hertfordshire, Humberside, Kent, London, Merseyside, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, Suffolk, West Midlands and West Yorkshire.
I think this reinforces the assertion that the Police need informers most times to find grows.
Keep your smells, sound and light under control and all should be well.
