Cannabis worth £120,000 seized in police raid

Police in Hull have seized mature cannabis valued at more than £120,000 from a property in Spring Bank West.

Officers from the Hull Central Neighbourhood Team executed a warrant on Monday under the Misuse of Drugs Act and have warned the growing of cannabis plants can put people in neighbouring properties in danger.

Local beat manager, PC Tim McGowan, said: “I would like to thank the community for continuing to support our action against drugs in the city.

“We want to provide reassurance that we will continue to take enforcement action and investigate those committing criminal offences such as the production or supply of drugs.

“These set-ups are causing our communities harm, so we will always look to dismantle them.

“They often tamper with electrical supplies which can put neighbouring residents in danger, something we simply can’t tolerate.

“The plants have all been seized to allow us to continue with our investigation to identify those responsible.

“I would encourage the community to continue to engage with us and provide us with the invaluable information that allows us to take drugs off of our streets.”

Anyone who suspects illegal activity can call Humberside Police on the non-emergency number, 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
