Warboys Cannabis Factory

A second cannabis factory's been raided in Warboys.

After a lock-up was raided on Monday with around 200 plants and weapons seized, another container's been raided today with officers finding a huge haul; worth a street-value of around £1.8m

The discovery was made following further reports of suspicious activity on the airstrip.

Around 2,200 plants and growing equipment were seized from the property this morning.

A 29 year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis and a 28 year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of production of cannabis and possession of a class A drug.

Both men remain in custody at Thorpe Wood Police Station.

Sgt Michael Basford said:

"This, on top of Monday’s find, has taken a staggering amount of drugs off our streets.

This is as a direct result of information from the public and really shows the difference people can make by reporting information to us."

Police say any suspicious activity can be reported on the website www.cambs.police.uk/report or by calling 101.
