UK: Norwich - Drugs raids in city
Evening News, Norwich
Friday 04 May 2007 More than 10 people have been arrested in Norwich in the last two week for conspiring to supply drugs and cultivating cannabis. Police have arrested 11 people after raids on seven properties across the city in areas including the Heartsease estate, Earlham, Mile Cross, Bowthorpe, and Hellesdon. Four of the properties were being used as cannabis factories where every room was given over to the cultivation of the plants. At the other three properties raided, police found smaller quantities of plants being cultivated. In one instance a loft room had been used to set up a hydroponics system and in another seeds were being grown in a bedroom. A total of about 2,000 cannabis plants at various stages of growth, a quantity of seeds and paraphernalia including scales and hydroponics systems have been seized. All the persons arrested were brought to Bethel Street Police Station in Norwich and questioned. Det Sgt Dave Mytton said: “I hope this recent series of raids and arrests has sent out a strong message to criminals involved cultivating and selling cannabis in this part of Norfolk. “We will not tolerate it and we are taking action and if you are involved in plying this trade, it is only a matter of time before we turn up on your doorstep. “The seizure of these drugs will have caused substantial disruption and inconvenience to the people involved. “I would take this opportunity to encourage the vast majority of decent law-abiding people in Norwich and South Norfolk to report any suspicious activity around properties in their communities.”
