The second fire in a month at a former cannabis farm is not being treated as suspicious by police at this time.
A Cheshire Constabulary spokesperson confirmed to the ECHO today that officers believed the cause of the fire to not be suspicious. Firefighters were called to the former cannabis farm on Hale Road, Widnes, in a detached house formerly owned by ex-Liverpool player Jermaine Pennant, for a second time in a month at around 8.30pm on Tuesday, November 1.
The spokesperson said officers on patrol in the Hale Road area came across the house when it was on fire. Fire crews from five engines subsequently worked through the night battling the blaze - and remained at the scene until yesterday morning.
