On Thursday, February 16th, officers executed a search warrant at the unit after information from a member of the public.

Inside they found a sophisticated and professional cannabis farm setup with large quantities of cannabis plants and cultivation equipment.

Conditions inside the unit meant that officers had difficulty getting inside and searching the premises.

Specially trained search officers were brought in wearing protective equipment to search and clear the unit.

In total 1,153 plants were removed, 750 of them had flowered heads meaning they were more valuable.

Officers estimate the value of the haul to be worth around £200,000.

The plants have been destroyed by police and enquiries into who is responsible for the cannabis farm is ongoing.

Northumberland Chief Inspector Peter Reeve said:
"We are delighted with this result and the fact we've been able to stop around £200,000 worth of drugs from getting onto the streets of the region.

It's been a difficult operation due to the conditions inside the unit.

When we got into the premises we found signs of asbestos inside. The electricity supply was dangerously overloaded and there was live wires throughout the building. We also found gas cylinders and didn't know what was in them.

Sections of the floor and roof inside the building weren't safe and officers had to take extreme care when carrying out the search.

As with any operation of this nature officer safety is paramount and it took us two days to get the whole place searched and have the drugs and equipment safely removed."

Enquiries are ongoing to find those responsible for this cannabis farm and anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 or by ringing Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

*sigh* He got caught cause he was thinking too big.

It's ALWAYS the large operations that get busted.

what he should have done is had many small farms spread out over different areas. If you can't do that then you're probably not operating within your means.

tl;dr don't put all of your pot plants in one house.


also that grow room is a fire hazard.

The gas tanks were full of co2, anyone with even half an idea on how to grow large quantities of weed knows this and what it's for.

All they had to do was open a door and there is no threat of asphixiation. As usual the police were being drama queens. Full hazmat suits and respirators. Very very dangerous man eating pot plants.

Exactly. Had to have the drama for any people watching so they could see the ills of weed. God forbid they showed the cops go in come out to 60 pizzas waiting all laughing their asses off!
