Cops seize £130m of cannabis, guns and crossbow after raiding 1000 farms in crackdown
Cops have seized more than £130m worth of drugs after raiding over 1000 cannabis farms in a crackdown across the UK.
Operation Mille, which took place in June, saw 200,000 cannabis plants confiscated along with 15 to 20 guns and more than 40 other offensive weapons - including a crossbow. Steve Jupp, the NPCC’s lead for Serious and Organised Crime, said: "We know that organised networks involved in cannabis production are also directly linked to an array of other serious criminality such as Class A drug importation, modern slavery and wider violence and exploitation.
"Cannabis-related crime is often thought to be 'low level'; however, there are clear patterns around the exploitation and violence organised crime groups are using to protect their enterprises.
