Police discovered around 200 cannabis plants in a Hyson Green property whilst attending a call about a potential burglary. Nottinghamshire Police says officers attended Radford Road at around 2am on Friday (June 30), after reports of someone trying to break into a house.
Police spotted a van parked nearby with three people inside shortly after arriving. A knife was seized following a search of the van and three men, aged 37, 32 and 25, were arrested on suspicion of possession of a knife in a public police.
But the sound of fans and an extension cord running through a window prompted suspicions of a possible cannabis grow inside the house. Officers found electricity had allegedly been bypassed and eventually found 200 cannabis plants across nine different rooms inside neighbouring houses, which were connected via a basement.
