“Please remember that cannabis grows pose a fire risk, not only to the property but also to neighbouring properties! Don't let this criminal activity destroy your neighbourhood!”
Officers from the Shirebrook, Clowne and Clay Cross Safer Neighbourhood Teams attended the property – alongside detectives and the Suspect Management and Reduction Team.
