gone but not forgotten
Sgt. Leaver said, Some of the drugs were ready for harvesting and would have been gone in about a week. It’s a good job we got in before then. “This operation has prevented these drugs from getting onto the streets of Birmingham.”
Sgt Leaver said a number of plants were taken away for analysis while the rest would be destroyed, denting the market for cannabis in the city.
Police smashed a record number of cannabis factories hidden away in suburban homes across the West Midlands last year.
A total of 174 cannabis factories were found in 2004 but this rocketed to 672 - almost two a day - by the end of last year.
A 33-year-old man was due before magistrates today charged with cultivating cannabis and abstracting electricity.
A woman, aged 24, was arrested at a separate address yesterday was released on bail pending further inquiries
