UK: Cannabis Factory Found in Manchster
---
MORE than 400 cannabis plants were seized by police following a raid at
a house.
Officers had a warrant to search the house in Prestwich.
Police said a quantity of electrical equipment, allegedly used to
cultivate the cannabis, was also seized.
Officers appealed for help from local communities to tackle drug-related
crime.
Pc Andy Wright said: "To target this sort of crime we need the help of
the local community. I would appeal to anyone who suspects that people
are cultivating drugs in their local community to contact the police.
"We can treat all information in the strictest of confidence and any
piece of information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could be
the key to removing more drugs from the streets of Prestwich."
A man has been remanded in custody after appearing before magistrates in
Manchester charged with cultivating cannabis.
