Report A Grow House Or Abandoned House

Have you seen suspicious activity at a home in your neighborhood?

Public awareness about grow houses and tips from citizens have helped deputies make arrests.

There are plenty of easy-to-spot indicators that a marijuana grow house may be operating in your neighborhood, including:

* More than one air-conditioning unit in operation
* Windows and blinds that are never open
* Frequent loading and unloading of equipment, especially at night
* Toys as props, but never any children
* Gates and "Beware of Dog" signs
* Little traffic, except for odd hours, weekends and nights

Anyone who sees suspicious activity and suspects a marijuana grow house operation should call the Collier County Sheriff's Office at 239.775.TIPS or you can make an anonymous report to CCSO and we will investigate.
