Over 200 cannabis plants discovered at Telford property
Cannabis plants with an estimated value of more than £220,000 were seized following a successful warrant carried out in Telford yesterday, 23 April.
The warrant was carried out at a property on Alma Avenue in Malinslee by Telford Central and Donnington Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT), where 260 cannabis plants were found.
Police say that no one was in the property at the time, and enquiries are ongoing.
Sergeant Matt Corfield, from the SNT, said: “Today’s warrant was an excellent piece of proactive work by our Safer Neighbourhood Teams, as cannabis farms of this scale are often linked to organised criminal groups and shutting them down helps protect our communities from the wider harm these operations cause.
“The discovery of more than £220,000 worth of plants shows just how important this warrant was, and I’d like to thank the officers involved for their professionalism and thoroughness.
“Our enquiries are ongoing, and we will continue to act on intelligence to identify those responsible and prevent drugs from reaching our streets.”
