The town's police tweeted that they "conducted another successful drugs warrant in Sutton Hill" on Wednesday morning.

During the raid officers netted 372 plants and arrested on man.

They have also tweeted a picture of what looks like a room full of cannabis plants, under strip lighting.

Officers from the safer neighbourhood time were assisted by West Mercia Police's local policing priority team which targets problems specific to local communities, be that drugs, burglary, modern day slavery, economic crime or fraud.
