Police have uncovered tens of thousands of pounds worth of cannabis plants in a house on a residential street in Hucknall. Police had been tipped off by the public and so visited the property in Norman Drive at around 12.15am on Saturday morning, June 4.
After spotting evidence of a cannabis grow from outside, they forced entry and around nearly 100 plants spread across multiple rooms inside. The plants were taken away and destroyed and an array of growing and electrical equipment was put beyond use.
Sergeant Andy Crosby, of the Ashfield neighbourhood policing team said: “Cannabis cultivation is a serious offence that is often linked to organised criminality and a range of related offences – from significant incidents of violence to people trafficking.
