Police raid home and discover cannabis farm inside

Police discovered a cannabis farm during a drugs raid.

Officers in Bolton executed a drugs warrant in Great Lever on Monday.

The farm is at least the fourth one found in Bolton in July alone. Other raids have been carried out this month in Bradshaw Brow, Westhoughton and Hall i' th' Wood - all of which uncovered industrial-scale cannabis operations.

The neighbourhood policing team raided the property to find a number of what appear to be cannabis plants on Monday, posting images of growing plants on social media.

In a Facebook post yesterday, GMP Bolton North said: "Bolton neighbourhood policing team have executed a drugs warrant on the Great Lever area of Bolton today."

If you suspect there may be a cannabis growing in your neighbourhood, call 101 or report it anonymously via Crimestoppers online or by calling 0800 555 111.
