Fog Blog New Brunswick Log: Crystal Meth On The Rise and Made Here:

WATCH OUT SAINT JOHN........CRYSTAL METH IS HERE, MADE HERE AND ON THE RISE BY USERS!,,,Saint John police are warning about the dangers of crystal meth and methamphetamine pills after seeing a "dramatic increase" in the sale and use of the highly addictive street drugs in the city.The number of crystal methamphetamine-related calls for service in Saint John so far this year has already surpassed last year's total by 66 per cent, said Sgt. Darin Clarke, the head of the force's criminal intelligence unit.Police have responded to 88 incidents to date, up from 71 in 2018 and 21 in 2017, he said, noting the numbers could be even higher because some crystal meth calls might get logged as something else, such as a breach of the peace, or a suicide.Earlier this summer, the Saint John Police Force's street crime unit and members of the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force seized a quantity of crystal meth and up to 500 so-called ice pills, which are methamphetamine pills stamped with the word "ice."
