Cannabis factory uncovered

Dear Resident,

It was an early start for our rural and neighbourhood officers on Monday as they carried out a warrant in Crease Bank, Whittlesey.

🌱A cannabis factory consisting of 270 plants was uncovered.

A man in his 70s was arrested and has since been bailed while investigations continue.

Cannabis factories can be an extremely dangerous fire risk, especially if the electricity has been bypassed.

Do you know the signs that you may be living or working next to a cannabis factory?

🏠Lots of different people coming and going from the address at all times of the day and night

👃Strange smells coming from the property

🪟Windows covered or curtains closed all the time

The warrant was part of the team's priority work to tackle drug dealing and drug use.

Kind regards,
