Police in Falkirk investigating a robbery which left a man injured are understood to have discovered a cannabis cultivation within the property.
Officers were called to a flat in Bowhouse Road in Grangemouth at around 12:15am on Monday May, 10, after reports it had been robbed.
A 37-year-old man suffered minor injuries during the incident and cops say they're on the hunt for five people seen in the area around that time.
A white car and van were also spotted driving about.
The Record understands a number of cannabis plants have since been found inside the house and that the victim was robbed of cash.
