Cannabis factory discovered in Margate
150 plants have been seized along with growing equipment
Police have discovered a cannabis factory in Margate.
Officers raided the property in Cliff Terrace, finding 150 plants alongside growing equipment, fans, lights and other items related to cannabis cultivation.
They also found the property's electrics had been tampered with and urgent work was needed to make the building safe ensure it didn’t pose a potential fire risk to neighbouring properties.
Inspector Richard Batten said: ‘Working with partners allows us to share information which on this occasion has resulted in us dismantling a criminal cultivation which had been established across a property, disrupting the work of organised crime, and was also at risk of causing safety issues for other people living nearby.
‘Anyone who sees or hears anything suspicious in relation to drug dealing should contact us so appropriate action can be taken.'
No arrests have been made, Kent Police say their investigation remains ongoing.
