A 22-year-old man from Peterborough was arrested and later charged with cultivating drugs. He is scheduled to appear at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (Saturday).

Cambridgeshire police said on social media there was a power outage in Crown Street due to an “earlier incident”.

A police spokeswoman could not confirm if this was linked to the drugs incident.
