Officers were called to a break-in at an address on Acton Road in Long Eaton shortly after 11.10pm last night (Monday, August 22).

Almost a dozen rooms of cannabis plants were found on attendance, police said, and they added that a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of cultivating them.

A spokesperson for Derbyshire Constabulary said: “A scene is currently in place at the property and officers remain in the area carrying out enquiries.
