When police raided Beverley Road house, they found over 450 suspected cannabis plants with an estimated minimum street value of £100,000.

A 49 year old woman and a 41 year old man were arrested on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis.

NEDL were also contacted due to concerns over the electricity supply which appeared to have been tampered with.

Drugs Unit Sergeant Nigel McCartney said: “I would urge the community to be aware of residential cultivation of cannabis – it is certainly becoming more common.  Anyone who sees what they believe to be suspicious activity should report it to police or to the charity Crimestoppers and we will act upon that information.”
