Spotting the Signs of Cannabis Cultivation

Spotting the Signs of Cannabis Cultivation

Cannabis farms are often hidden inside ordinary homes and can present serious fire and safety risks to neighbouring residents.

Signs may include a strong unusual smell, blacked out windows, excessive condensation, constant extraction fan noise, bright lights visible at unusual hours, or frequent short visits to a property.

If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts. Please don't investigate yourself or confront anyone involved. Instead, report your concerns to GMP via 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Your information could help protect vulnerable people, prevent organised crime and keep our neighbourhoods safe.
