Four people have been arrested and £50,000 of illegal drugs have been seized after a cannabis farm was dismantled in Sunderland.
Three men, aged 32, 52, and 63 were arrested along with a 58-year-old woman after four addresses across Sunderland were targeted by Operation Sentinel, in an effort to tackle organised crime across Wearside. As well as uncovering a large-scale cannabis farm, Northumbria Police seized £17,000 in suspected criminal cash, four cars and a BB gun.
Two addresses were on Roedean Road, Red House, Sunderland, and a further two were on Houghton Road in Hetton-le-Hole as part of an ongoing investigation into the supply of drugs. When the farm was identified in Hetton-le-Hole, all plans were seized and the site was dismantled.
