What is cuckooing?

Cuckooing is a type of crime where criminal gangs exploit vulnerable people. The most common form of cuckooing is where drug dealers take over someone's home and use it to store, use or sell drugs. Signs that this is taking place can include; lots of people coming and going from the property at different times, intercoms and doorbells being rung and an increase in ASB.

If you think this could be happening please call the police and then notify your housing officer.
