Suspected Meth Lab Found in Springboro.

Posted: Updated:

Several people are facing charges in connection with a suspected meth lab found at a home in Crawford county.
Thursday's meth bust, is all part of an ongoing investigation.
 
Police are sifting through evidence of a possible Methamphetamine lab, found Thursday in a Springboro neighborhood.
Investigators with the Attorney General's Meth Task Force converged upon a mobile home along North street, in Springboro.

They brought 5 people into custody, charges against them are pending.
Police arrested and charged one person at the home on Wednesday on unrelated charges.

Police focused their search on a  shed out back, that they say contained lots of items used in the meth making process.
In fact, they say meth was manufactured here just within the past couple of days.

"All the precursors, everything needed to manufacture meth was here. We do have information from one of the individuals that was actually cooking at this address." Said Dennis Tobin, head of the AG's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation.

Tobin says this meth bust is the latest in their efforts to rid meth manufacturing from our area,
"We've been very proactive in investigating meth in this area. When you're as proactive as we have been, you see these individuals moving to other areas. We're starting to see a lot more meth labs showing up in Eastern PA, and moving out of Northwest Pa, a lot of them are moving to Ohio."

It's all something that neighbors we spoke with say is very unnerving.

"I don't like it very well. there's a lot of children in my neighborhood and this is absolutely insane, it's really ridiculous." Said Fred Miller of Springboro.

This is an ongoing investigation.
As part of that, police say they'll be collecting more information, and searching for more potential meth labs in the area.
Once the case is all together, they'll file charges.
