Police discover cannabis farm
Sue Carr3/ 9/2007
A CANNABIS farm has been uncovered after police raided a house in Droylsden.
Officers carried out a dawn raid of the Edge Lane property on Monday and discovered more than 300 cannabis plants and various growing equipment.
A man in his 30s, in the house at the time, was arrested on suspicion of cultivating the plants and stealing electricity and is currently being held in custody.
Sergeant Paul Garry, based at Droylsden Police Station, said the raid was carried out following a tip-off from a member of the public.
He said: "In order to help us to target this sort of activity, we need the help of the local community.
"I would appeal to anyone who suspects that people are cultivating drugs in their local community to contact the police or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
"We can treat all information in the strictest of confidence and any piece of information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could be the key to removing more drugs from the streets of Droylsden."
