In Oregon - Sheriff deputies arrested 26 people during a series of drug raids. Most of those picked up were arrested on Meth-related charges.  Detectives followed up on tips from informants and from people who lived or worked near suspected drug houses.  Four children were taken from one house; police say all the drugs around them endangered their health and welfare. They were taken into protective custody. Police seized three ounces of Meth in the raids.

In British Columbia, Canada - People living near the scene of two chemical dumpsites did not have to evacuate while two Meth lab dumpsites were cleaned up.  Local authorities had warned 200 houses and more than 2,000 students in five schools might have to leave the area, but further tests ruled the risk of toxic fumes and explosions was minimal.  Some residents were advised to keep their car and home windows rolled up as a precaution during the clean up.  It was the second time the neighborhood has been disrupted by a serious Meth-related chemical spill in less than a year.  10 months ago, solvents from a lab started leaking into a nearby ditch during a heavy rainfall.  Some residents were evacuated during that spill.
