Podcast explores 'cuckooing' and a friendship nearly destroyed
Original: A tale of two trap houses: being cuckooed ruined my friend’s life – but did it then help save him? – podcast By Written
A Guardian podcast episode tells the story of a man whose life was ruined when drug gangs took over his home in Britain, a practice known as cuckooing, and asks whether the ordeal ultimately helped save him. Written by Max Daly and read by Simon Darwen, the episode examines how county lines gangs have moved off the streets and into victims' homes.
Why now: Growing concern about county lines gangs exploiting vulnerable people in their own homes has kept the topic in public discussion.
