A huge £150,000 cannabis factory has been discovered inside an industrial unit in Doncaster after officers acted on intelligence from the local community to execute a drugs warrant.

Yesterday afternoon (2 May), officers from Doncaster East Neighbourhood Policing Team raided a unit in Kirk Sandall as they executed a warrant under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Inside, they found around 150 cannabis plants spread across two rooms, with the total estimated value of the Class B drugs coming to £150,000.

The plants have since been recovered from the premises and destroyed, with a 45-year-old man charged in connection with the incident.
