Neighbours who lived near a cannabis farm said they thought it was being turned into flats months before a police raid.
Merseyside Police raided a house in the Rice Lane area on Monday (October 17) following a tip off it was the site of a large scale cannabis farm. Footage captured by the ECHO showed officers smash through the front door of the terraced house before arresting a 28-year-old Albanian man.
Around 400 plants over four rooms of the house were uncovered by officers during the early morning raid. The warrant was carried out as part of Operation Crossbow - a multi-force day of action involving more than 200 officers from Merseyside Police, Cheshire Constabulary and British Transport Police in a bid to tackle serious and organised crime.
