New owners of Cambridgeshire property shocked to find what was left inside - as police launch investigation
The new owners of a Fenland property near Peterborough were greeted with a smelly surprise when they opened up the home for the first time.
A huge cannabis grow was found inside the property in Manea – which the new owners quickly reported to Cambridgeshire Police.
A force spokesperson said: “They may have expected to do a bit of gardening, but this wasn’t what they had in mind.
“Thankfully, they gave us a call, our officers attended to remove the plants and an investigation is ongoing.”
The force says drugs and drug related crime “can have a negative impact on our communities and its use can harm the health and safety of our residents”.
They added: “To help keep our communities safe, we encourage you to look out for common signs of drug dealing and let us know if you see anything suspicious.”
You can report drugs related crimes to Cambridgeshire Police online or by calling on 101. For more information on drug dealing and production, visit their website.
