Police put paid to Peterborough cannabis factory during raid
Police scuppered criminals’ plans for a cannabis factory after raiding buildings in Peterborough.
Officers from Cambridgeshire police’s Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) were called to Glatton yesterday following concerns from a property owner who had discovered some suspicious packages in one of their rented outbuildings.
When officers arrived at the scene they unearthed a vast number of unopened boxes and bags, which contained drug-growing paraphernalia all ready to be set up.
With nobody around and nobody claiming the goods were theirs, officers seized them as stolen and promptly put paid to this potentially profitable drugs operation before it had chance to grow roots.
