UK Wales: Police raid cannabis farms... and give proceeds to charity food bank

A sustainable food project has benefited from all the compost and fertiliser taken from raided cannabis farms



Police who raided cannabis farms have been giving some of what they seize to a charity food bank.

Fertiliser and compost from raids has been given to poverty relief charity Pembrokeshire Action To Combat Hardship (PATCH), to use in its ‘Growing PATCH’ project.

The sustainable food project, launched last year, sees volunteers working together to grow fruit and vegetables, which can then be given out to clients referred to them.

Jan Olin, who runs PATCH's ‘Growing PATCH’ project, said the donations would help the charity grow fruit and vegetables to supply its food bank.

“The timing of the donation is perfect as it’s the beginning of the growing season,” he told the Western Telegraph .

“We are so grateful for this donation which will save us a lot of money.

“Thank you to our local police for supporting us once again."

PC James Mitchell said: “After the cannabis factories discovered in Pembroke Dock last year there was a lot of compost and fertiliser that the police have to dispose of.

“There was so much it would be a shame to see it go to waste.

“Now it has gone to a good cause, who can use their cash for other things.”
