Police seized 94 cannabis plants during a drugs raid on a property at Maltby

Police said 94 plants were found at a property during a raid at a property on Strauss Crescent, Maltby, on Thursday (2 November).

The pre-planned raid was undertaken following intelligence gathered by officers indicating that drugs were being grown and distributed at the property.

Inspector Rebecca Deraz said: โ€œCannabis farms and factories have a significant impact on our local communities. Some people may think cannabis is a โ€˜harmlessโ€™ drug, but it is often linked to organised crime and the exploitation of vulnerable people who are recruited to look after the grows.

โ€œI encourage the public to look out for the signs a property is being used being used to grow drugs. If you have concerns about a property near you, please report them to us. We will investigate and continue to disrupt the drugs supply chain, put a stop to this illegal activity and create safer neighbourhoods.โ€
