BBC South Today
A BBC South investigation has revealed drug dealers in the region are increasingly using the practise of "cuckooing".
It's when criminals from outside the area target the homes of vulnerable people and use their properties to sell drugs.
Nearly 200 gangmembers from London, Liverpool and elsewhere have been convicted of the crime in the South since 2015.

£150,000 has been pledged towards a house for Syrian refugees by a group of people from Wimborne in Dorset.
It's more than half the amount needed to purchase a home for a family that left Syria for safety.

New Forest water pipe collapse closes Ashurst A35published at 08:19 British Summer Time 22 June 2017
A burst water pipe has led to the closure of a section of one of the major routes through the New Forest.
The A35 Lyndhurst Road has been closed at Ashurst between New Road and Whartons Lane after the pipe burst causing the road to crack and lift.
Southern Water said its engineers were expected to turn water supplies off to assess the collapse.
The firm said the hot weather can mean the soil dries out causing pipes to shift and break.
Tests carried out on water samples from the burst have revealed it is not believed to be sewage-related as ammonia was not present.
