UK: Cannabis seized in Tranmere
---
A 15-YEAR-OLD boy was due to appear before magistrates yesterday after
police raided a cannabis farm in Tranmere.
A large quantity of sophisticated cannabis growing equipment, with an
estimated value of £18,000 was seized together with what is believed to
be more than 300 cannabis plants with an estimated street value of
between £20,000-£30,000, during the raid on Tuesday.
The 15-year-old is charged with suspicion of cannabis production.
Neighbourhood Inspector Brian Griffiths said: "This is a significant
seizure and local people should be reassured that we will continue to
take positive action on any information relating to drugs activity in
the area.
"Information from the public is vital in our continuing war on drugs. I
want to thank the community for their support so far and also urge them
to keep supplying us with information.
"This latest seizure sends out the message that if you're involved in
drugs and associated crime we will target you and put you before the
courts."
