Police are now encouraging landlords to regularly check their properties
A landlord was shocked to find his rented property transformed into a cannabis factory. Police attended the address in Radford Bridge Road on Thursday, August 17 after receiving a call from a landlord.
The landlord had gone to the home and found more than 70 plants in the rear upstairs bedroom. No one was at the address and officers are now investigating several different lines of inquiry. Officers believe the property was being adapted for the production of cannabis as some of the equipment was new and unused. The electricity had also been bypassed.Neighbourhood Inspector Gordon Fenwick said: “Cannabis factories like this can cause immeasurable damage to a property. They are also incredibly dangerous. Bypassed electricity makes the property a fire risk, putting residents’ properties and lives in potential danger.
“We would always encourage landlords and letting agents to regularly check their properties to ensure they are being occupied by genuine renters. We would also encourage anyone who has suspicions that a cannabis factory is being set up on their street to contact us as soon as possible and we will act on any intelligence we receive.”
