Police seize £250k worth of plants from Kirkintilloch cannabis farm

Police have recovered more than 500 plants from a cannabis farm in Kirkintilloch.

Officers made the discovery at around 1.30pm yesterday (Tuesday) and believe the plants have an estimated street value of £250,000.

Acting under warrant, Greater Glasgow Serious and Organised Crime Unit entered the property in High Street Industrial Estate.

Detective Inspector Steven Elliott said: "This is a significant seizure and I’ve no doubt this site was under the direction of organised criminals.  This operation will have caused considerable disruption to their criminal activity and highlights our continued commitment to cracking down on drugs. 

"We will continue to target those involved in our efforts to curb this illegality.”

Anyone with any information or concerns regarding drugs in their community should contact police via 101.
