Some disturbing facts about P Labs

Information provided by the National Drug Intelligence Bureau tells us that:

• P Lab discovery has continued to increase year on year
• Of the P Labs that were discovered, more than half were in rented accommodation
• More than 50% of all P Labs had residents living at the premises
• 33% of residences had children living at them
• Only 40% of P Labs found were a direct result of drug-related policing

– 22% of P Labs were discovered by the public
– Weapons were found at 33% of P Labs

Furthermore P Lab offender demographics are not what landlords expect – with the vast majority of recorded offenders being European (63%) and older 31-45 (55%).

Whilst these figures show trends, it is estimated that these statistics are indicative of less than 20% of the actual offending that is taking place in New Zealand.

The massive increase in illegal pseudoephedrine capture by customs at the boarders, up 1200 % over the last 5 years, is a better indicator of the drugs rapid growth in New Zealand.
