Leave suspected meth materials alone, officials say

MARQUETTE, MI--   With the approach of various hunting seasons, police are warning people of the hazards of meth components left in the woods.   

Michigan State Police say waste from the meth manufacturing process is commonly being found in wooded areas, campsites, and two-track roads. 

Troopers say people should not handle any suspicious materials such as solvent containers, drain cleaners, fuel cans, coffee filters, cold packs, lithium batteries, bottles with sludge in them, or bottles with plastic tubing attached. 

If found, the materials should be reported to 911.
