Meth Watch program ties stores to curb meth ingredients
Retail workers across Iowa will join law enforcement in a new Meth Watch initiative announced at Scott's Foods in Norwalk. Clerks will use a checklist to record data on suspicious purchases of meth ingredients like cold medicines and lithium batteries, while avoiding confrontation. The program, already echoed by Marion's ID checks for large pseudoephedrine purchases, includes Hy-Vee stores and aims to deter meth production by monitoring buyers and keeping key products behind counters.
