A cannabis factory has been discovered in Trowbridge this morning (Tuesday).
Police were called to Handle House in Stallard Street at around 9am.
A member of the public reported seeing that the derelict building was insecure – and there appeared to be plants growing within it.
Officers arrived and found a cannabis factory and electricity engineers were contacted to attend and make the property safe.
This afternoon, forensics have been photographing the building and combing it for evidence.
The crime scene is likely to remain in place overnight while investigations continue and the plants are removed for destruction.
A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “Officers were called to Stallard Street shortly before 9am today following a report from a member of the public that a disused building was insecure and there was suspected cannabis plants growing inside.
“The electricity board was notified and has attended the scene to ensure it is safe for officers to continue with enquiries.
“We remain on scene carrying out these enquiries and would urge anyone with information to call 101 and quote log number 59 of July 23.”
