According to North Carolina Attorney General Ray Cooper, the state discovered 206 meth labs last year. That’s a 40 percent drop from 2008, and Davison County report zero meth lab busts last year.

"A combination of the law and the diligent effort of the sheriff’s office has resulted in the absence of meth labs for nearly two years in Davidson County," Sheriff David Grice said. "Our office will continue to work diligently and follow all leads related to meth and any other drugs." [Source: The Dispatch]

Attorney General Cooper recently implemented an electronic tracking system that will keep state investigators informed about unusual patterns of pseudoephedrine-related purchases. Pseudoephedrine is one of the ingredients necessary to produce methamphetamine. The system will track purchases in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi.
