Police find £800,000 worth of cannabis plants in West Lothian village

POLICE have broken up a West Lothian cannabis farm which held plants worth £800,000.

Officers searched an address on Young Street in West Calder on Tuesday morning, where an extensive cannabis cultivation operation was found.

Detective Constable Craig Drummond said: “This is a significant recovery and is an example of our efforts to disrupt the trade in illegal drugs in Scotland.

“It also underlines our commitment to the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.

“We would continue to urge anyone with information or concerns about drugs activity in their area to contact Police Scotland on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

"Anyone with any information relating to this particular recovery should quote incident 0700 of September 10."
