More than 1,000 cannabis plants with street value of £600k discovered in empty building in Scots seaside town

More than 1,000 cannabis plants were discovered by police in an empty building in a Scots seaside town.

Cops busted a plantation in Leven, Fife where they seized plants with a street value of up to £600,000.

They raided an unoccupied building on Durie Street and found the massive cultivation.

The huge find was announced on the Levenmouth Police Twitter page.

They cheekily asked the owners of the cannabis to "pop in" to the police station in order to claim the illegal drugs.

It read: "Cannabis plantation of over 1000 plants, with a street value of up to £600,000 found in Leven.

"Crop being kept safe by us. Pop in to claim!"

Officers are currently searching for the growers of the plants following the raid which took place at about 12.50pm on Thursday August 5.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 12.50 pm on Thursday, 5 August, 2021, police recovered a quantity of controlled drugs - cannabis plants - with an estimated street value of £600, 000 from an address in Durie Street, Leven (an unoccupied building).

"Enquiries into the find are continuing.

"Anyone with information can call police via 101 quoting incident number 4091 of 4 August, 2021 or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
