Police discovered and dismantled a large cannabis farm in Stoke-on-Trent, arresting individuals involved.
Locals noticed police on Monsal Grove since Saturday. Officers wearing white suits went inside the house, and now the front door of the house is boarded up tight. Police posted a warning sign in the window too.
The sign says they destroyed everything inside and warns that cops will watch the place. Undercover officers will also be checking on it frequently.
PCSO Rebecca Simon shared some news: they discovered over 200 cannabis plants there. The police took and destroyed all the plants, and they arrested some people too for the crime.
She said growing weed illegally is really risky. Things like slavery, crime, and fires can happen. These activities endanger nearby homes a lot.
We reached out to Staffordshire Police and requested they share the details on the raid. More details will be available when they respond. Cops found another weed farm in the city recently.
Last week, another factory got busted; it was on Conway Street in Shelton. Cops went there due to a fight reported. Before that, they raided Robert Heath Street in Smallthorne only days before, leaving carrying bags full of weed found inside.
