Help us stop "Cuckooing" in our community.

Criminals often target vulnerable neighbours - such as elderly people or those with mental heath challenges - and take over their homes to use them for drug dealing or storing weapons.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

A sudden influx of of frequent, short-stay visitors at all hours.

Cars waiting outside with people exclanging cash or small packages.

Vulnerable neighbours suddenly having groups of people staying with them.

If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts. Please dont confront anyone yourself.

Report it online at met.police.uk, call 101, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0 800 555 111. In an emergency, always dial 999.
