Public reminded to watch for suspicious activity

Red Deer RCMP are asking the public to be more aware of suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods.

Red Deer RCMP are asking the public to be more aware of suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods.

The city faces a growing battle against drugs and police remind the community they cannot solve this issue alone.

Indicators of drug activity include: a large amount of vehicle and foot traffic coming and going from a residence or vehicle and repeated, observable exchanges of items and money.

Noxious odors coming from a residence with the blinds always drawn and high humidity in the windows could indicate a possible marijuana grow operation as well.

RCMP ask the public not to assume they already know about the suspicious activity or that a neighbour will call it in.

Anyone who sees activity they think may be drug related should document patterns they observe and contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575.

To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com. If the information leads to an arrest, tipsters are eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.
