Merseyside Police officers smashed through the front door of a terraced house in the Rice Lane area after acting on intelligence that it was home to a large scale cannabis farm. During the warrant an Albanian man, aged 28, was arrested on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis after 400 plants over four rooms were uncovered by officers.
The warrant was one of five carried out in the Merseyside region this morning, Monday, October 17 as part of Operation Crossbow. The operation's day of action, involving more than 200 officers from Merseyside Police, Cheshire Constabulary and British Transport Police, is targeting serious and organised crime.
