PC Trevor Moody, Neighbourhood Police Officer for Elham and Stelling Minnis became suspicious about people seen in the area and organised a search warrant to be carried out.

Police searched the bungalow in Ottinge near Elham on Thursday (17 September) and discovered the cannabis plants and various equipment used for cultivation.

They also discovered cables leading into the property from a nearby electricity pole and called out EDF who said it was extremely dangerous and could have caused a serious fire.

The cannabis plants and equipment have been taken to a local police station to be destroyed safely and police have launched an investigation.
