40 plants were discovered
Police have highlighted the "appalling" conditions a cannabis grower was living in after discovering 40 plants at a Nottinghamshire property. Officers found the plants next to a tiny adjoining room with a makeshift bed made up of a wooden plank resting between two stools at the address in Clipstone Road, Edwinstowe
Police attended on Monday, April 12 following reports the Class B drug was being grown inside. As well as cannabis plants, the electricity was found to have been bypassed. Rat traps were also spotted in the small and dirty area where the person tending the plants was sleeping and living. All the cannabis was seized from the address and destroyed, while the equipment used was also removed.
PC Al Johnson, of Nottinghamshire Police's Newark and Sherwood Operation Reacher team, said: “This discovery was a good example of the other side of growing cannabis – namely the appalling conditions people tending these plants are expected to live in. Sadly, these types of operations often involve extremely vulnerable people being exploited, with others benefiting financially from their efforts.
