Cannabis farm with 150 plants uncovered in terraced house

A cannabis farm with more than 100 plants was discovered by Merseyside Police yesterday.

Officers uncovered the farm on Gothic Street, in Rock Ferry, at around 6.45pm on Wednesday, August 11.

Police didn't find those responsible for growing the cannabis plants and an investigation is now underway.

The farm spread across five rooms and included 150 plants.

The cannabis dismantling team has now made the address safe by taking over the contents of the farm.

Matthew Northey from the cannabis dismantling team said: "Thanks to our officers, a large cannabis farm is no longer putting the community at risk of fire and flood, as well as violence and criminal exploitation.

"No law abiding person wants to live next-door to such death-traps and we do all we can to make the streets safer.

"Keep your eyes, ears and noses open to the signs that cannabis is being grown where you live and work and we will keep taking action. All information helps the work we do, so make us aware and we'll be there."

Anyone with information on suspected drug production or criminal activity in their community can contact @MerPolCC, call 101 or come forward anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
