Neighbours have been stunned by the 'unusual' discovery of a cannabis farm hidden in a Nottingham flat. Police were alerted to cannabis plants inside a flat close to the junction of Mansfield Road and Sherwood Rise, by Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, at around 12.15am on Wednesday, May 10.
Firefighters suspected the building was being used to grow the Class B drug after being called to a false fire alarm. When police entered the building they discovered around 20 cannabis plants in one bedroom and 110 plants in pots in another bedroom in the multi-occupancy building.
Locals were surprised by the fire service's accidental discovery of the farm. Wendy Watkinson, 68, who has lived in the Sherwood Rise area for her whole life, said she had never heard of anything similar in the area.
