Police uncovered a massive cannabis operation in Fen Drayton, leading to four arrests and charges for drug production.
Fen Drayton: So, get this! Police stumbled upon a huge cannabis factory in two fancy houses. They found over 1,000 plants worth more than a million pounds. Crazy, right?
It all started when locals raised concerns about the place. Officers checked it out and, wow, what a discovery! They seized loads of growing gear, cash, and even some mobile phones.
Four guys were charged, and they all tried to escape in different ways. Two were hiding in a cupboard, while the others made a run for it. Talk about a wild scene!
The suspects, aged between 20 and 50, are all without a fixed address. They’re set to face the music at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court soon.
One local inspector said the houses looked normal from the outside, but inside? Total chaos! It was like a drug factory, with boarded-up windows and wires everywhere.
He also mentioned that growing and selling cannabis isn’t just illegal; it fuels other crime too. The police are determined to crack down on these drug networks.
They shared some tips on spotting a cannabis factory, like odd visitors at strange hours and blacked-out windows. If you notice anything fishy, they want you to report it!
So, if you see something suspicious, don’t hesitate to reach out to the police online or give them a call. They’re on it!
