How to spot a cannabis factory
Police have now issued advice to residents on how to spot a property being used as a drugs factory.
A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police said: “There are key signs to spot a property that could be being used as a cannabis factory:
“Frequent visitors to a property at unsocial hours throughout the day and night.
“Blacked out windows or condensation on the windows, even when it is not cold outside.
“Bright lights in rooms throughout the night.
“Electricity meters being tampered with/altered and new cabling, sometimes leading to street lighting. High electricity bills can also be an indicator.
“A powerful, distinctive, sweet, sticky aroma and noise from fans.
“An excessive amount of plant pots, chemicals, fertilisers and compost.
“Anyone with information about a potential cannabis factory or drug dealing can contact police online www.cambs.police.uk or call 101.”
