What is cuckooing?
Cuckooing is a crime where a criminal, or criminal gangs, exploit vulnerable people.
The most common form of cuckooing is where drug dealers take control of the victim’s home and use it to store and deal illegal drugs. It may sound a tame term, but it’s a very serious offence which, unfortunately, is happening in our communities.
The impact can be devastating on individuals, and we have acted swiftly to stamp it out and support victims.Â
