Police stumbled across a cannabis factory at a house after responding to reports of windows being smashed in the Gorse Hill area of Swindon in the early hours of this morning.

We’ve put together a full gallery from the scene, picturing everything from SSE (electric company) digging up the pavement to make the house safe and detectives visiting the scene.

The drugs factory set up will be taken to a recycling centre by Avon and Somerset Police. The money made from the sale will be put back into policing. The cannabis will be destroyed.
