A TOTAL of 98 cannabis plants were seized when officers from Warwickshire Police raided a home in Exhall.
The officers from the safer neighbourhood team uncovered the extensive cannabis farm this morning (Monday, March 4) after executing a warrant.
The grows spread across three floors of the property including, the attic.
A substantial quantity of dried cannabis ready for sale was seized during the operation.
PC Pedley from Nuneaton and Bedworth Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “Like many of the cannabis grows we have discovered recently, this was a professional outfit with all the kit to grow cannabis on a commercial scale.
“While we didn’t make any arrests in connection with the grow, these types of commercial operations are often run by people who are illegally trafficked into the country before being exploited by organised crime gangs.
“People who use cannabis need to realise that it is not ‘just a harmless bit of weed’, you are funding serious organised crime and the exploitation of vulnerable people. Your actions have consequences.
“From our point of view, this was another great result, with another cannabis farm shut down and organised criminals left tens of thousands of pounds out of pocket.”
Individuals with pertinent information regarding cannabis production are encouraged to report it through Warwickshire Police’s dedicated portal or by dialing 101.
