“We will continue to shut down these dangerous farms, which can endanger those in the community with their dangerous and unsafe set-ups. We are committed to keeping the public safe and will do what we can to clamp down on illegal activities."
GMP are now appealing for anyone with information which can 'help police investigate illegal activities' to come forward.
Reports can be made by calling 101, 999 in an emergency, or via the Live Chat function on the GMP website.
