Hide AdA spokesperson for Clay Cross Police Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “This grow appeared to be a sophisticated operation and we are pleased to have impacted on criminal behaviour by confiscating drugs before they can be sold.
“The production and selling of cannabis can sometimes be perceived a victimless crime, however, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
“The production and distribution of drugs has a detrimental impact on communities and ruins lives.
“Not only is cannabis growing illegal but it can also be extremely dangerous due to the fire risk, especially if people are living in adjoining properties.

“Anyone with any information about the grow should get in touch with us.”
