Crimes: Cash Rewards and Meth Users

crimes: Winnipeg Crime Stoppers is doubling its cash rewards for information solving crimes related to methamphetamine, according to The Toronto Star. Guillermo Arias / THE CANADIAN PRESS meth users often experience a state of confusion and anxiety that can easily translate into an increase in violence. Crime Stoppers recognizes Winnipeg is currently experiencing a major crisis associated to crimes related to the use of meth on our streets, said Paul Johnson, the group's chairman. While opioid use has risen dramatically in other areas of Canada, crystal meth has become the fastest-rising drug of choice in Manitoba. The Addictions Foundation of Manitoba recently said meth use has increased by more than 100 per cent in adults and nearly 50 per cent in youth since 2014. It is cheap, relatively easy to produce, and gives users a high that can last for many hours. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
