Drugs farm found (Heywood)

A large police drugs crackdown has seen yet another cannabis farm uncovered.

Officers have now raided a house on Egerton Street, Heywood, where they found 25 plants hidden in a first-floor bedroom.

The raid, which took place on Tuesday (2 June), recovered cannabis with a street value of £3000.

Police Sergeant Valerie Lamb, of Heywood Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "This might sound like a small discovery in relation to others we've made recently but it is still significant and I am delighted these drugs will not make it on to the streets.

"We will continue to respond to information the public gives us to put a stop to drugs being supplied on the streets of Heywood."

A 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of producing cannabis and has been bailed until 31 July 2009 pending further inquiries.
