Scared residents have spoken out after a house fire uncovered a cannabis factory in their terraced cul-de-sac, stating “it was like something out of a film”.
Flames raged from a home in Marley Street, Beeston, from about 8.15am today (Monday, June 5). Smoke could be seen billowing from the roof while firefighters worked to put the fire out. One resident said they woke to the smell of “burning rubber and weed”.
Fire crews discovered cannabis grows all over the house. West Yorkshire Police was informed and dispatched officers to the scene, closing off the house with a cordon while investigations got underway.
