Police have removed plants and equipment from a cannabis farm in Trowbridge.

Officers initially responded to reports of a call from a member of the public reporting that a disused building was insecure on Tuesday morning (23 July).

It’s understood the caller said that a strong smell of cannabis was in the air – and as suspected, police found a cannabis factory inside.

The building in Stallard Street, named Handle House, was cordoned off as the electricity company attended to make it safe.

Forensics have been combing the scene since, and today (Wednesday) specialist officers carried out searches and removed plants and grow equipment for destruction.

In a statement yesterday, 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.”
