Someone with multiple phones, tablets or SIM cards could be a sign they are being exploited by SOC gangs. The phones are usually cheap, disposable and old fashioned, because they are change frequently to avoid detection by police. Look out for the signs!

An increase in people entering or leaving a property can be a sign someone is being exploited. The occupier may be being cuckooed by a county lines drug gang; they may have taken over their home to deal drugs from.

Changes in behaviour and emotional wellbeing can be a sign that someone is being exploited by a SOC gang. These changes in behaviour might include: Going missing from home or school Socialising with unfamiliar adults Using drugs and alcohol Self harm

Children travelling alone or being found in areas they have no obvious connection to can be a sign they are being exploited by SOC gangs. Gangs can use children to courier drugs and money across the country on public transport. Some of these children are as young as 12.
