Police seize 200 cannabis plants during Newport raid
Around 200 cannabis plants were seized by police from two properties in Newport yesterday afternoon.
Police officers from the Newport and Donnington Safer Neighbourhood Teams searched the two empty properties at around 2pm.
PC Lee Thomas, of the Newport Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank the community of Newport for their support in tackling the fight against drugs which brings so much harm, not only to our town, but to communities across the force area.
"We would like to reassure the residents of Newport and the surrounding area that your local police will continue to act on the information we are given to help keep our communities safe.
“The properties were unoccupied at the time and are thought to have been so for over six months. Our inquiries continue to help bring those responsible to justice.”
No arrests have yet been made in connection with the warrant.
Anyone with information which can help police with their inquiries, or on the sale or production of drugs, is asked to call police on 101.
Information can also be given to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org
