UK: Cannabis netted in raid on farmhouse
Dan Grimmer Norwich Evening News
Tuesday 25 Sep 2007 Hundreds of cannabis plants with a street value of tens of thousands of pounds have today been recovered during a police raid at a Norfolk farm house. On executing the warrant at the four-bedroom home in Fersfield Road, Kenninghall, officers discovered a large-scale and sophisticated cannabis production operation in place. A 30-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of being concerned in the production of controlled drugs and remains in police custody at this time. The discovery is the latest in a series of drugs seizures in the west of the county by officers from the Western Area CID Tactical Unit, which has included the discovery of a cannabis factory at Lyng and a haul of ecstasy tablets in King's Lynn. Sgt Warren Witt, who led today's raid, said: “When we entered the house we found cannabis plants being grown as part of a sophisticated set-up in all but two rooms. “We have seized an estimated 500 cannabis plants, along with hydroponic and lighting equipment used for its cultivation. “These are controlled drugs which we have prevented from being sold on our streets. It's important that people continue to pass any information they have about suspected drug dealing or production in the community to us for us to act on.” Officers and crime scene investigators remain at the scene where they are carrying out a comprehensive examination. The drugs seized will later be destroyed.
