A cannabis farm with more than a hundred plants has been uncovered by police in Bollington.

Several officers found a sophisticated set-up in the home with heating and irrigation being used to cultivate the illegal plants.

Police stormed the house early last Tuesday morning (September 14) and arrested one man who was later released on bail.

The drugs were later taken away and destroyed. Garry Thurgoland, Neighbourhood Policing Team beat manager for Bollington said: "This operation was part of our on-going campaign to prevent drug dealing and drug abuse in this area. Cannabis farms of this type are part of that issue.

"Anyone who suspects that a house in their neighbourhood is being used for drug cultivation or has information about drug dealing should contact us. We will always investigate and take action whenever we find offences are being committed."
