Cuckooing - advice from West Yorkshire Police
- Cuckooing is when Organised Crime Groups (OCGs) or perpetrators take over properties through force, deceit or coercion.
- It is often included with "County Lines" activity, occurring when gangs take control over a vulnerable adult's address, as a site to store/supply/produce drugs from.
- We have also seen reports of individuals holding the properties for pop-up brothels, storing weapons or other illicit and unwanted activity. Gangs will do this in order to avoid Police detection themselves.
