A Misuse of Drugs Act Warrant was executed by Operation Remove officers yesterday in the Clywd Street area of New Brighton.
Upon gaining entry to the property, Merseyside Police officers located a cannabis farm with in excess of 20 plants. The investigation is currently ongoing.
If you spot any signs that cannabis is being grown near where you live and work, you can inform Merseyside Police, so that they can continue to take action.
Some of the signs that cannabis is being grown are:
- Strange smells and sounds
- Frequent and varied visitors to a property, often at unusual times
- Gardening equipment being taken into a property, such as plant pots, fertiliser, fans and industrial lighting
- Windows are sealed and covered or the curtains are permanently closed
- Heat from an adjoining property
- Birds gathering on a roof in cold weather
Individually these activities may seem commonplace, however, together may indicate something more suspicious.
