£250k cannabis seized in Yaxley


Dear Resident,

On Friday we seized 284 cannabis plants with a street value of around £250k in Harrier Way, Yaxley, after a member of the public reported their concerns to us.

No arrests have been made but an investigation is ongoing.

There are key signs to spot a property that could be being used as a cannabis factory:

  • Frequent visitors to a property at unsocial hours throughout the day and night
  • Blacked out windows or condensation on the windows, even when it is not cold outside
  • Bright lights in rooms throughout the night
  • Electricity meters being tampered with/altered and new cabling, sometimes leading to street lighting. High electricity bills can also be an indicator
  • A powerful, distinctive, sweet, sticky aroma and noise from fans
  • An excessive amount of plant pots, chemicals, fertilisers and compost
  • If you have any information about a potential cannabis factory or drug dealing please contact us online.

    Kind Regards,

    PC Joe Davis

    Response Officer
