Inside the 'cannabis farm' hidden behind fake living room with Christmas tree

More than 100 cannabis plants have been found hiding behind a fake living room - complete with a TV and Christmas tree. Greater Manchester Police say a British Gas worker made the bizarre discovery on Thursday (December 1) as they tried to read a meter.

Images from inside show how a TV and Christmas tree had been put up near to the front window of the property on Heys Road, Prestwich. But the items were not part of an ordinary living room.

Instead, they had been placed in front of a fake wall, which appears dismantled in the images shared by GMP today (Friday). Officers seized 105 cannabis plants from behind the wall, in what was the latest in a string of 'cannabis farms' being dismantled in Prestwich over recent weeks.
