POLICE: 3 Arrested in Kirkwood for Buying Items Used to Make Meth

A tip from employees of a Kirkwood business led to the arrest of three adults last week on meth-related charges.

On Oct. 1 at 11:08 a.m., police received a report of suspicious activity at a retail business in the 1200 block of South Kirkwood Road. Employees reported three adults inside the business buying items consistent with the production of methamphetamine, according to the Kirkwood Police Department.
