Police find £220k of cannabis plants in raid on Telford house
260 plants were discovered in the house.
Police found more than £200,000 of cannabis in a raid on a Telford property.
West Mercia Police said that a total of 260 plants were discovered in the bust on the property at Alma Avenue in Malinslee carried out this morning - Thursday, April 23.
The raid was carried out by the Telford Central and Donnington Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT).
They said no one was in the property at the time, and enquiries are ongoing.
Sergeant Matt Corfield, from the SNT, said: “Today’s warrant was an excellent piece of proactive work by our Safer Neighbourhood Teams, as cannabis farms of this scale are often linked to organised criminal groups and shutting them down helps protect our communities from the wider harm these operations cause.
“The discovery of more than £220,000 worth of plants shows just how important this warrant was, and I’d like to thank the officers involved for their professionalism and thoroughness.
“Our enquiries are ongoing, and we will continue to act on intelligence to identify those responsible and prevent drugs from reaching our streets.”
