Cannabis Farm found in Shropshire
By the time officers had arrived, the farm had been harvested
A cannabis farm has been discovered at a property in Craven Arms.
The discovery was made on Shrewsbury Road by officers from Church Stretton and Craven Arms Safer Neighbourhood Team yesterday (Monday 14 April).
They were responding to concerns from the local community that the building was being used to host an illegal cannabis farm.
When officers entered the property they found evidence that around 200 plants were grown there. It is believed the plants were recently harvested.
No one was at the property, and no arrests have been made but enquiries are ongoing.
Sergeant Jenni Price, from the Safer Neighbourhood Team, praised the role of the community in helping police identify the illegal operation.
She said: ”We will not tolerate criminal activity within our communities, and that we will act on information provided to us by the public.
“The local community can help officers by continuing to report any signs of criminal activity – the easiest way to do this is on our website or by emailing my team on [email protected]. Any bit of information, no matter how small it may seem, could help make a big difference.”
