‘Significant’ cannabis farm discovered inside historic mansion

  • North Wales Police uncovered a “significant” cannabis farm at the historic Plas Glynllifon mansion near Caernarfon, Gwynedd.
  • Officers executed a warrant on Tuesday, discovering about 12 rooms on the top floor being used to cultivate "fairly mature plants".
  • The Grade I-listed Plas Glynllifon is a privately-owned mansion, built in the 1830s, which once hosted a ball for King Charles following his investiture as Prince of Wales in 1969.
  • Police Superintendent Arwel Hughes noted that the property's electrics had been manipulated and water supply diverted, with the building already in various states of disrepair.
  • Police will remain at the site for several days to continue enquiries and forensic work, expressing confidence that arrests will be made.
