The grow was discovered following a warrant at an address on Combermere Drive, which was carried out by Telford’s Neighbourhood Crime Fighting Team (NCFT).

When officers entered the building 76 cannabis plants were discovered, which have been given an estimated street value of around £63,000.

Around £1,000 cash was also seized at the property, a vehicle and a quantity of class B drugs was also discovered with an estimated street value of around £12,000.

Two men, both aged in the 20s, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of cultivating cannabis. Both men remain in police custody as enquiries continue.

Cannabis production not only fuels the illegal drug trade but is often linked to wider criminal networks, including human trafficking, modern slavery, and serious organised crime.

The public is urged to continue reporting suspicious activity, especially in properties that may show signs of being used for growing cannabis, such as covered windows, excessive electrical wiring, or strong, unusual smells.
