🔥 A hot start to the Bank Holiday weekend for your local officers! 🔥

🔥 A hot start to the Bank Holiday weekend for your local officers! 🔥

You may have noticed an increased Police presence in Whaley Thorns yesterday… and here’s why 👀

Acting on information from local residents, officers uncovered a cannabis grow containing nearly 🌱 100 plants 🌱 — just days before harvest.

Safe to say… we’ve saved someone the gardening job ✂️😅

While some may see cannabis grows as “just plants”, the reality is very different. These properties often pose serious dangers to neighbouring homes and the wider community, including:

⚠️ Significant fire risks from dangerous electrical bypasses and overloaded wiring

⚠️ Organised criminal activity linked to drug production

⚠️ Unsafe living conditions and property damage

⚠️ Anti-social behaviour impacting local residents

This result wouldn’t have happened without information from the community, so a huge THANK YOU to everyone who reported concerns — and an even bigger thank you to the kind residents who kept officers fuelled throughout the day with biscuits and sweets 🍪🍬 (community policing at its finest!)

Your information really does make a difference, and we need your help to identify the next one.

👀 Seen suspicious activity?

💡 Constantly covered windows?

🌡️ Excessive heat or strange smells?

🔌 Tampered electrics or unusual visitors at odd hours?

Please report it to us.
