Cannabis Farms Central Ward

Cannabis Farms Central Ward

Officers have attended an address on Boswell Street where a cannabis farm was located. The electric had been bypassed and even more dangerously the gas meter had been as well creating a potentially dangerous situation which could have led to a fire. Thankfully this was made safe by colleagues from the electricity and gas board.

Officers have then attended an address on Cromer Street again a cannabis farm was located and again the meter had been bypassed which required the pavement to be dug up to rectify.
