To confirm meth presence in the property, sampling every room
reduces the risk of not detecting meth in the property. This
Baseline test is not used to confirm the effectiveness of cleaning
in a property. DO NOT BOOK THIS TEST IF YOU HAVE UNDERTAKEN
ANY RECENT CLEANING.
We use lab based testing, because it is the most accurate
and sensitive way of testing for meth. A lab based meth test will
identify meth residues when just 0.02µg of meth is picked up in a
sample. For one sample, this amount is equivalent to just 4% of the
currently acceptable Ministry of Health Guidelines. So, low levels
of meth can be identified. Particularly important when a property
has been repainted!
If you want a Garage or sleep out tested please state this in
the booking.
What is methamphetamine?
Methamphetamine is an extremely addictive, powerful stimulant. It
produces wakefulness, hyperactivity and a euphoric effect.
Methamphetamine is also known as speed, pure, P, burn, goey,
crank, meth, crystal, ice and yaba.
What Police are doing about methamphetamine
Methamphetamine has serious social, economic and even environmental
consequences. Police are focused on breaking-down local and
international crime syndicates and disrupting the production,
importation and distribution of methamphetamine.
Police has a methamphetamine action plan which makes disrupting
methamphetamine manufacturing a priority for all Police staff.
Police works closely with the Organised and Financial Crime Agency
of New Zealand, which targets organised criminal groups such as
gangs that are involved in the methamphetamine trade.

Clandestine drug laboratories
Methamphetamine is manufactured in New Zealand in clandestine
(secret) drug laboratories, known as 'clan labs', or imported in
crystal form. There are risks in the process due to the poisonous,
explosive, corrosive, toxic and extremely flammable chemicals
used.
Exposure to chemicals found in clan labs can cause various symptoms
including headaches, watery or burning eyes, nausea, burning skin,
coughing or choking, diaphragm pain, feeling of coldness or
weakness, shortness of breath or dizziness, decreased cognitive
function, vertigo and convulsions.
If you find a clan lab, get out
Strange smells, fumes and vapour escaping from windows or
ventilators, sealed windows and premises being used for purposes
other than normal, are some of the signs that indicate premises may
be being used as a clan lab. If you suspect you have found a clan
lab get away from the area immediately.
If you suspect the house you are moving into has previously been
used as a clan lab, contact your local council's environmental
health officer or your local police
station.
Methamphetamine laws and penalties
Methamphetamine is a class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act and
therefore attracts severe penalties.
Manufacturing, importing, dealing and possession for supply can
lead to a life sentence. Possession of five grams of
methamphetamine (a tablespoon) is enough to warrant a conviction
for possession for supply.
Those caught importing the precursors of methamphetamine
(pseudoephedrine and ephedrine) without a licence can attract jail
sentences of up to eight years.
Possessing a pipe or utensil for smoking methamphetamine is also an
offence and can result in a one year jail term or a fine of up to
$1000.
