469kg for those who may not  be aware is around the weight of an average horse.

Not sure how any methamphetamine could be destroyed in an ecologically friendly manner as it's chemicals for a starter.

Here in New Zealand they now do testing in waterways.

It may be an idea to address these issues in an ABB Host Newsletter as it does impact on ABB.

It's important Hosts and Guests are aware of what to look out for & safely reporting those who may be involved.

Some pointers with the assistance of local authorities may be timely.

Thanks in advance

Of course, it's not only ABB hosts and Guests it's all property occupiers who let them regardless of where they advertise there rental accommodation.

I recall in younger years, drug dealers tended to gravitate to remote rural areas as they could covertly carry out unlawful activity without been so readily detected.
