WA Police have issued a word of caution about the danger of explosion in improvised drug manufacture sites.

Police have detected three cases of drug set ups that employ a "one pot – shake and bake" method. Though, all drug manufacturing is fraught with danger, this "one pot – shake and bake" method is even more risky as the danger of explosion looms large with highly volatile chemical ingredients mixed together in one container.
