Police raid a former shop in Swindon town centre to find a huge cannabis factory.
Officers conducted the warrant at the property in Regent Street, near Poundworld, on Monday, 5 September.
More than 300 well-established cannabis plants were found growing inside – with the stench smell in the street.
Sergeant Tristan Winter of the Swindon Neighbourhood Central South team said: “It was concerning as there was a clear risk caused by the unsafe electrical set up.
“Thanks to intelligence supplied by the local community, we have been able to disrupt the activity and make the building safe.”
If you suspect you’ve seen a drugs factory or witnessed any other kind of antisocial behaviour, please report it to police via 101, online or to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. In an emergency, always call 999.
