Police raided a house in Haybridge Avenue, Hadley, on Monday afternoon with a drugs warrant.

They found 110 cannabis plants, which West Mercia Police estimated have a street value of £110,000.

Two men, aged 28 and 22, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of growing cannabis.

Telford Proactive CID Detective Inspector Barry Spencer said: “This warrant was part of our commitment to tackle serious and organised crime and help make our communities even safer.

“Cultivating cannabis farms such as this does not just bring disruption to local residents but it brings associated harm.

"We suspect those involved are part of a wider organised crime group and will continue to take further enforcement action and disrupt the activity of all of those involved.”

West Mercia Police said its approach to tackling serious and organised crime is underpinned by the principle 'Pursue, Prevent, Protect and Prepare'.
