Police were notified of a sizeable cannabis farm after she discovered it in her unrented property on Higher Croft in Whitefield.

Police were planning on entering the property at the weekend after it suggested no one was residing at the address but people were coming and going from it, alerting suspicions.

Inside the address were around 140 plants growing and 71 pots that had just been harvested. This has an approximate street value of around £50,000.

Inspector Gareth Edwards from the Bury neighbourhood team said; “First of all I would like to thank the local community for reporting these concerns to us, we are continuing to act on your information and have eventually managed to stifle a form of criminal activity that has far-reaching consequences.

“The importance of engaging with our officers at local meetings and direct through Bee In The Loop means we can continue to protect you and provide a robust and reliable resource to those who are intent on causing harm in our area.

“We are committed on tackling the use and supply of drugs within Bury and an investigation is continuing in the background. We have dedicated officers focussed on tracking those responsible down.
