Undermining crime
Report Crime
When the upper and underworld become intertwined, we call it "undermining crime". To carry out illegal practices, criminals often use the upper world. Think of transportation, storage, housing, financial facilities. Examples of undermining include cannabis plantations or ecstasy labs in warehouses or homes, money laundering through businesses, human trafficking and healthcare fraud.

Reporting helps, always!
The police or municipality always takes action based on your report. What that action is depends on the situation. Sometimes you won't notice anything yourself. For example, because more clues are being collected behind the scenes. Your report may also help in an investigation that is already underway. Due to privacy rules, we cannot keep you informed. Remember that reporting always makes sense!
