Leicestershire Drug Bust: Weapons, Cannabis, and Cash Seized
The police went to Shepshed on Saturday, February 22. People living there were worried about drug growing. Police pictures show them breaking down the door; they used a ram to get inside quickly.
Inside the house, officers found cannabis plants and weapons, though they didn’t say what kind. They also discovered a large amount of money in the building.
Police said the house was stealing electricity because the meter was changed to avoid paying bills. This is dangerous, they said, and can cause fires. Cannabis farms often do this.
The police described the raid as successful. Residents told them about suspected drug activity, and the police thanked people for reporting their worries. They ask people to contact them about drug dealing.
Some people online liked the police action, while others did not agree with the raid. Someone thought it wasted police time and money and that cannabis should be legal, like in Canada.
