Police have warned of a gradual rise in the use of the highly addictive drug “crystal meth” and said that vigilance is needed to stop use of the drug escalating.
An investigation carried out by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) has predicted the drug has grown in popularity, although it is not on the same scale as other Class A drugs like crack cocaine.
Use of the drug, which is a form of crystallised Methamphetamine, has reached epidemic levels in parts of America and Australia. The report compares UK growth and patterns of use to that in each of these countries.
Det Sgt Andy Waite, Acpo’s expert on the drug, said police had seen “a gradual rise in the reporting of the use and manufacturing of the drug” in the UK in the past two to three years.
He also warned British production of the drug is “something we are alarmed about” and is being monitored by police but pointed out the problem is “still relatively minor” in this country.
Acpo successfully campaigned for crystal meth to be reclassified as a Class A drug in January 2007. People who use methamphetamine face up to seven years in jail and an unlimited fine, while dealers could be jailed for life.
