WELLS — The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency was searching a house and camper in Wells for a suspected methamphetamine lab on Tuesday.

It is the 45th response by the agency this year to investigate a possible meth lab, the highest number ever, according to a news release from Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

The possible lab was discovered Monday night and the agency’s meth lab response team arrived Tuesday morning to begin processing the ranch-style home at 859 Post Road, along known as Route 1. Also being examined is a camper in the driveway.

Assisting at the scene were the Wells police and fire departments, state chemists and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.

No arrests have been made.
