PC Jordan Miles, from the Intervention team, said: “It’s a fact that drugs and associated criminality ruins lives. Cannabis remains illegal and I hope this sends a message that we will not stop in our pursuit of those who continue to break the law.”

Police are now on the hunt for those involved in the grow.

PC Miles added: “If you have any information which may assist the investigation, or have witnessed any suspicious activity in the area, please get in touch. Even something seemingly insignificant could prove key to progressing our enquiries.”

Information can be reported online or on 101, quoting crime reference 41/57556/23. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800555111 or online.
