NORTH AUGUSTA -- North Augusta authorities are searching for four men who constructed a meth lab found in the woods behind Walmart on Tuesday, according to an incident report.
Authorities were called to the woods behind the business at 1201 Knox Avenue around 6 p.m. after Walmart security noticed a fire and then saw four men run from the woods.
After extinguishing the fire, authorities discovered the meth lab construction.
Hidden in plain sight, practically speaking. How resourceful. Glad it was discovered before they did more damage.
Now they will move to new location, maybe a motel room or a garage next door. What is certain is they won't stop until they are incarcerated. When one gets to the point where they "have" to know how to cook they can never unknow. Sad but true. Good luck North Augusta authorities!
North Augusta's Meth Highway may be turning into North Augusta's meth Hideaways.
This is due to the fact that North Augusta only has issues with SPEEDING, not real crimes like drugs and armed robbery.........right? Funny those new fancy HEAT cars didn't detect this.
It's amazing how folks in RC love bad news from other areas. Aren't they wallowing in enough of their own slop? At least most of NA is still a decent community and we can feel safe.
Crime is everywhere itsallright, just because a neightborhood is suppose to be nice, doesn't make it completely safe. I don't where any envious RC folks are happy to see other places with crime. I bet there are as many meth labs in Aiken county, Richmond County and Columbia County, per person, as there are in most of the nation.
Correct sane one; Per person the outlying areas including N.A. have more meth labs, there just aren't as many folks who live there. The description given by the N. Augusta Security Guard was of 4 men. 2 white 2 black running.
Unfortunately meth labs are EVERYWHERE. So let us not loose sight of the problem with all this "in your county" crap. As concerned citizens we must all be aware of our enviroments so when something suspicious pops up maybe WE can help by bringing it to the attention of the authorities. This is war people and we still have innocent young children's futures to try to help protect.
Indigo, You and many others think that NADPS is only concerned with speeders. The majority of the work that they do is patrol related. You should check your facts before you pop off. Also, the HEAT cars are assigned specifically to traffic, they do not go on patrol calls.
I'm waiting for user420/professor chaos to come on and rant about drugs needing to be legalized. Then these perps wouldn't have needed to started a fire that could have killed someone.
Hunt them down put their sorry butts in prison where they belong !
