UK: Cheshire police have warned Halton home growers to watch their backs

"WE'RE one step behind you" is the message from Cheshire police to Halton drug growers after stats showed an increase rise in cannabis cultivation across the county.

Cheshire Constabulary has warned its officers are closing in on criminals who are turning to the cultivation and supply of cannabis instead of committing common burglaries, because they think they are unlikely to be caught.

But over the past few months officers have targeted homes in Cheshire, Halton and Warrington with early morning raids, seizing hundreds of cannabis plants and arresting dozens of dealers who have been turning their homes and apartments into cannabis factories.

Detective Chief Inspector Simon Price explained that the 'worrying' 9% rise in drug-related crime over the past year was due to a surge in common criminals setting up their own 'grow your own' drug dens in a bid to make and save money.
